- Abstract
- The AIDS epidemic implied a new approach in the French Healthcare System and has impulsed cooperation in Frontier areas between primary care and hospital. To vary views on the question, in an Information and Communication interdisciplinary prospect, our analysis is based on the articulation of issues in meaning, relationship, knowledge and action according to the view of F. Bernard (2006) supplemented by that of identity and power. From a methodological point of view, we use an analytical framework showing through past and present stories of actors, their positions and roles, their stakes and values, such as the quality of their relationships in a specific context (Situational and Interactionist Semiotics, A. Mucchielli, 2010). We will study the situation of two categories of stakeholders: patients and general practitioners in primary care, particularly through the emergence of a new organizational interface: the Healthcare Networks. Then, we will analyze the limitations of this solution.
