She has a background in Science and Technology Studies and the Sociology of Health and Illness in particular. Her current work has its focus on in situ intelligence and interaction with the aim to explicate the hidden competences and informal built-in structures that are crucial for the preservation of patient safety. The project aims to question dominant ways of patient safety and provide alternative conceptualisations of patient safety. In her presentation Jessica Mesman will discuss the analysis of the ordering work involved in creating safe collaboration in complex care situations. Point of departure is the recognition of practices as modes of ordering and organizing our world. To reveal key organization practices that direct the reconfiguration of collaborative actions, the formation of an ad hoc team during an unexpected admission on a neonatal intensive care unit will act as object of study. Based on ethnographic research a fine-grained analysis of sources of coherency will provide insights into the preservation of patient safety during these moments of radical reconfiguration.
