Integrating Qualitative Evidences in Care Delivery (To Healthcare Professionals and Executives)
Having explored the organizational enactments in marginal spaces, with a focus on healthcare, I find that organizing strategies needs to go beyond structured professional and organizational realm. In this background, I study frontline actors and their practices to understand the tension in organizing at intersection of professional and community discourses. Accordingly, I deploy ethnography and other qualitative methods to understand the organizational enactments to engage with these competing discourses. On a related note, I engage with these nuances to understand the sustainable professional enactment in delivery of care.
