Abstract
In this paper, we report from ongoing research on two cases on the use of
telecare solutions for remote patient monitoring in Norway. Our analytical focus is on the
practices of the nurses working in the remote care services and how the practices relate
to the infrastructural configurations in which they are situated. By infrastructural
configuration we refer to the organizational structure, service design, and technological
solution. Specifically, we focus on three aspects emerging from the analysis of nurses’
practices: the interrelation of care and coordination of work, the fragmentation of
information and the constitution of patients.
