Abstract
Collaborative information systems (CISs) can improve efficiency and quality of services, because they enable users to coordinate and collaborate on common works with a large scale. In recent decades, increasing number of hospitals start to adopt CIS to improve efficiency and quality of health care treatment, and CIS is becoming an important platform for hospital employees to treat patients. CIS is rich in resources of relations among users, however, people seldom study networks of users existing in the CIS, especially in health information systems. In this paper, we construct collaborative weighted networks of users from two typical CIS: one from health care respect, Vanderbilt University STARPANEL system; and the other from a more general respect, Wikipedia talk system. We learn characteristics of those two networks, and find both networks follow degree-strength relations, which could be used for detecting anomalous behaviors of users in the CIS, for instance, anomalous behaviors of hospital employees and wiki editors.
