In this paper, we use measures from social network theory to better understand the dynamics of inter-organisational coordination during disease outbreaks and how this leads to collective decentralised knowledge sharing. We collect disease outbreak coordination data from Hunter New England Area Health Services (HNEAHS) in NSW, Australia for demonstrating the effectiveness of these network-based measures to accomplish an effective coordination and communication plan that will contribute to the reduction of infected cases and transmission rates. Since there are not many studies that deal with organisational dynamics at play in the disease outbreak context, we use an investigative approach with a qualitative case study to capture rich information from senior health disaster management practitioners in the field.	./cache/cord-021230-x6re8787.txt	./txt/cord-021230-x6re8787.txt
