lt;p>The focus of this book is to investigate interprofessional telephone interaction, a routine yet disruptive activity at the hospital, and to expose how nurses and physicians coordinate in view of delivering efficient patient care. The analysis of recorded calls at a Swiss hospital displays the variable formats through which nurses produce requests.


lt;p>The focus of this book is to investigate a routine yet disruptive activity at the hospital - telephone interaction - and to expose how nurses and physicians coordinate at distance in view of delivering efficient patient care. Data consists of 130 audio-recorded calls between nurses and physicians at an acute care hospital in Switzerland. The main activity of these calls consists of the nurse requesting the physician's intervention, namely, the physician designating a course of action to be undertaken in the future.

By adopting a conversation analytic approach, the author identifies the formats through which nurses implement requests to physicians. She distinguishes between requests that contain an explicit formulation of a candidate course of action (e.g. Can you do X), and less transparent formats, such as reports of problems. The latter consist of presenting a series of facts that convey the existence of a situation portrayed as problematic and making relevant the physician's intervention. To secure the interventionable character of the report, nurses refer to facts remediable only by a medical authority, such as deficiencies contingent to the provision of care or a patient's medical status.

Anca Sterie is a sociologist, currently working on doctor-patient communication at the Lausanne University Hospital. Her doctoral thesis in social sciences concerns interprofessional hospital interaction; she holds a master's degree in European studies on political symbolism. During her previous employment, she was equally engaged in research regarding women's empowerment in post-conflict zones.
