Partage d’informations en contexte de crise Covid-19 : cas des médecins urgentistes

Abstract

This article presents the results of a qualitative empirical study conducted with the medical personnel of an emergency medical aid service during the Covid-19 crisis. It focuses on information sharing in crisis situations in the case of the daily activities of emergency physicians. Data were collected from nineteen interviews. The results demonstrate the importance of information sharing, the multiplication of sharing channels and the central role of hierarchies in crisis context. They also demonstrate the dual role of the broader public health system with regards to the sharing and, more broadly, the management of information in times of crisis.
