“…The MDT forum is a valuable setting for research into problem-solving and decision-making as well as more general CSCW issues. Research themes around co-operation and co-ordination; roles and information; time, space and place; knowledge used and technology employed are all relevant to the CSCW community and can be applied to medical work and meetings [20]. Observing these work teams also gives us improved understanding of fundamental issues in modes of interpersonal communication, including speech, the use of multimedia and technology-mediated communication.…”

Increasing dependability in collaboration work among health professionals will directly improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. Our research examines the development of a shared visual display to facilitate data entry and validation of an electronic record during multidisciplinary team meeting discussion, where specialists discuss patient symptoms, test results, and image findings. The problem of generating an electronic record for patient files that will serve as a record of collaboration, communication and a guide for later tasks is addressed through use of the shared visual display. Shortcomings in user-informed designed, structured data-entry screens became evident when in actual use. Time constraints prompt the synopsis of discussion in acronyms, free text, abbreviations, and the use of inferences. We demonstrate how common ground, team cohesiveness and the use of a shared visual display can improve dependability, but these factors can also provide a false sense of security and increase vulnerability in the patient management system.

“…In addressing these issues, we concur with a number of studies in areas such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) and human-computer interaction (HCI) that suggest that, in research on digital technologies, it is necessary not only to focus on technical elements, but also on how such work is carried out in situ (e.g., Hindmarsh, Jenkings, & Rapley, 2007;Kane, Groth, & Randall, 2011). Further, our study aligns with an increasing interest in going beyond doctor-patient consultations and in the direction of collective decision making.…”

Abstract. This paper describes an application framework supporting Collaborative Handheld Decision-Making (CHDM). The main characteristics of the framework are:(1) extensive usage of visual elements and gestures; and (2) independence from specific decision-making methods, processes and tasks. The research departed from the analysis and systematization of several CHDM scenarios, highlighting repeatable behavior across multiple decision-making contexts. From these scenarios we distilled a coherent set of common functional requirements organized in three main categories: process, macro and micro functionality. The proposed framework has been validated at length through the development of several CHDM tools. Six different tools are described in the paper. The main contribution of this work is a common foundation for developing CHDM tools.
