Paula proposes to synthesize what is known about impacts of health information systems on healthcare worker identities. Shewill do this through a specific type of literature review called a meta-ethnography. More than a summary of literature, this study will develop new critical insights about the interactions between technology, work, and identity. With these insights, she hopes to shape future research questions and leadership practices in ways that sustain care work in increasingly digitalized environments.
