Svensk hälso- och sjukvård är en informationsintensiv bransch som står inför en stor utmaning avseende de informationsteknologiska lösningar som används idag och hur dessa lösningar bör utvecklas framöver. Vårdpersonalen efterfrågar att den teknologi som används ska vara flexibel och anpassad till arbetssituationen samt följa flödet i patientprocessen. För att utveckla lösningar anpassade till vård och omsorg som kan stödja användarna i deras arbetssituation krävs att metoder utvecklas utifrån användarna och deras arbetskontext i en distribuerad arbetsmiljö. Genom att ta fram sådana metoder utifrån ansatsen distribuerad kognition blir det möjligt att identifiera informationsflöden och de verktyg som används utifrån de fysiska förutsättningarna i arbetskontexten. Distribuerad kognition utgår från att människans tänkande ses som ett fenomen som utgår från social, kulturell och kontextuell interaktion samt interaktion med artefakter, Kognition anses på så sätt vara distribuerad.
