in Healthcare

Bridget Kane & Saturnino Luz,

Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Communication, Teamwork, Interaction and Mobility are terms we have

come to associate with healthcare work. Communication can be

synchronous or asynchronous, coupled and often mediated by multimedia

technology. The challenge of co-ordination and supporting co-operation

in these work settings is an on-going problem for designers and

developers. Co-ordination of information among teams and between

institutional settings is critical for efficient and effective

healthcare delivery.

In this economic climate, we are especially challenged to find more

efficient and effective methods of delivering services. We are

provoked to provide novel approaches to help to control disease and

maintain a healthy population. A range of technologies have the

potential for hospitals, teams, and individuals to reconfigure their

traditional practices in new and effective ways.

We invite reports on significant unpublished work in the area of

computer-support for co-operative work in healthcare, with particular

emphasis on design and technology applications for interaction among

medical specialists, and between medical specialists and

patients. Research on support for collaboration among medical,

nursing, scientific, ancillary staff and patients is encouraged,

including case studies or incident reports.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Collaboration between individuals

Co-ordination of Information

Ward rounds

Team working

Meeting support

Consultations

Shift handover

Speech and Language in communication

Teaching/Learning

Shared displays

Technology-mediated communication

Remote collaboration

Visual communication environments

Intense collaborative environments

Collaborative writing note-taking

Carer - Patient collaboration

Computer support for co-operative healthcare work
