- catalog abstract "Faced with pressures to reduce costs and increase quality, many firms are striving to improve coordination -- the management of interdependencies among tasks -- not only within but also across firm boundaries. Healthcare is an industry characterized by highly interdependent processes in which firms are striving to improve the coordination of patient care both within and across their boundaries. In this setting, we have observed common characteristics of intra and interorganizational coordination -- there are similarities in the pressures to improve them, in their expected outcomes, and in the obstacles to their improvement. Although both intra and interorganizational linkages are addressed extensively in the organizational literature, they are addressed by distinct analytical frameworks.The phenomena themselves are far more dynamic and interrelated than the frameworks designed to address them, we argue, and therefore require a framework that links intra and interorganizational coordination. The social network perspective, we suggest, is a useful vehicle for accomplishing this objective.".
