Marina Peduzzi

About

Marina Peduzzi is a leading scholar in the sociology of healthcare work, with a research focus on the intersection of technological change, professional roles, and interprofessional collaboration. Her major contribution lies in analyzing how digital health, robotics, and other innovations are reconfiguring the division of labor in clinical settings—shifting from multiprofessional to truly interprofessional models of care. Drawing on ethnographic methods, Peduzzi reveals the subtle, often invisible ways technology reshapes teamwork, authority, and patient-provider relationships. Her most-cited work, “Role reconfiguration: what ethnographic studies tell us about the implications of technological change for work and collaboration in healthcare” (2021, 18 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding these dynamics. Although her citation counts are modest, her influence is growing among scholars of health systems and organizational change. Peduzzi’s research is notable for its practical relevance: it helps policymakers and clinicians anticipate the human and collaborative consequences of adopting new technologies, ensuring that innovation supports—rather than disrupts—effective, patient-centered care.
