It discusses the question of how patients might experience context for their illness in a multiorganizational health care system. Assuming that actors engage with and experience contexts differently, it discusses potential consequences for the current fragmented and distributed organization of cancer care for involvement of patients in their own care. The chapter focuses on two important but often overlooked dimensions: place (where people are) and knowing (what and how people know), and, importantly, how these two dimensions relate to one another. These dimensions are central components of the collaboration between patients and health care professionals, the distribution of work in different places, the fragmentation of knowledge, responsibility, and activities across different parts of their process. The chapter ends by discussing the benefits of posing two simple questions in relation to context in health care: Whose context is it, and from where is context studied?","PeriodicalId":287592,"journal":{"name":"Context in Action and How to Study It","volume":"722 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131563000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How we understand and define context as a theoretical concept matters in relation to research questions, design, our approach to the philosophy of science, and thus our results. This chapter presents an overview of where readers can find further discussions of the concept of context, as well as debates on how best to analyze and study context empirically within specific scholarly fields. Further, the chapter defines and discusses context as a theoretical construct, relates these discussions to the Framework for Studying Context in Action, and reflects upon the analytical consequences of the choices this approach entails.","PeriodicalId":287592,"journal":{"name":"Context in Action and How to Study It","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125025890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In their own right, both context and action are essential theoretical concepts rooted in philosophical reflections. Moreover, they pose potential methodological challenges to research in the fields of organization and management. The context–action relationship deals with issues relating to questions such as what is organizational change and how can we study it empirically? How are macro- and microlevel events or actions connected, and how do they influence and co-constitute each other through their relationships across analytical levels? The book distinguishes between context as a theoretical construct, on the one hand, and as methodological approach (i.e., how we operationalize and use the concept in the research process) on the other.","PeriodicalId":287592,"journal":{"name":"Context in Action and How to Study It","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127520274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
