- We present a field study at a surgical clinic of what data that is relevant in order to identify clinically relevant similarities. We have observed discussion meetings in which different medical specialities decide how to treat patients with severe diseases in the liver. Our study also includes interviews with medical personnel, and examination of two data sources, the electronic patient records and the local quality liver registry used within the clinic. Our findings include a model of data that can be useful when searching for clinically relevant similarities between patient cases, as well as requirements on the functionality of an application that can identify clinically relevant similarities.

Context browser : Ontology based navigation in information spaces
- 2006

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For people working in knowledge intensive organisations, information about specific projects, documents, etc. are important for performing an ordinary workday. Different kinds of problems, large or small, complex or simple, continually arise and need to be dealt with. Finding information or people with specific knowledge to solve the problem may be of crucial importance. Today, a number of technologies exist facilitating this, but they are either not sophisticated enough, i.e., not providing results detailed enough, or too complicated to prepare for, e.g., tagging large amounts of information. As an alternative, we propose using ontologies to facilitate free-text searches. From an ontology, a menu-like interface can be automatically generated. Such a menu can replace searching with navigation. To demonstrate our ideas, we present Context Browser. a tool providing ontology based navigation in structured and unstructured information spaces.

Creating a space for increased community feeling among geographically distributed teachers
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 4th decennial conference on Critical computing. - New York, USA : ACM. - 1595932038 ; , s. 145-148

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the initial stages of a project in which we focuson participatory design methods to build information andcommunication technology support that stimulate knowledgesharing in a group of geographically distributedteachers. Teachers in general spend most of their time in aclassroom leaving few opportunities for social encountersand chats with their colleagues. The prototype we aredeveloping focuses on informality and playfulness, thatwould increase the social communication and thereby thecommunity feeling. In turn, this would ultimately increaselearning among the setting members.

Efficiency in Treatment Discussions : A Field Study of Time Related Aspects in Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings
- 2009
-
Ingår i: 2009 22ND IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER-BASED MEDICAL SYSTEMS. - 9781424448791 ; , s. 88-95
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a field study of multi-disciplinary team meetings where decisions on treatment of patients with diseases in the upper part of the abdomen are made. These meetings are important for knowledge dissemination and learning. We have studied how different time related aspects affect the efficiency during these meetings. Time is relevant because several physicians attend these meetings, and they have tight schedules as it is. Our analysis focuses on the conversation during the team meetings, and on how aspects such as indistinct discussions, lack of relevant competence and information, and the structuring of medical information affect time efficiency.

Saxaren : Strengthening Informal Collaboration among Geographically Distributed Teachers
- 2006

Ingår i: OZCHI '06 Proceedings of the 18th Australia conference on Computer-Human Interaction, Design, Activities, Artefacts and Environments. - New York, USA : ACM. - 1595935452 ; , s. 285-292

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For people working in situations with few colleagues around, information technology could be used for increased communication with colleagues at other places. One such group is teachers in rural areas. In our work with teachers in an archipelago school distributed over six islands we have focused on encouraging communication using a digital notice board, providing for quick handwritten notes, connecting all islands. Based on the teachers' collaborative situation, and on the design, implementation and use of the prototype, we illustrate, by a number of recorded notes, how the teachers have been using the prototype, relating the findings to group building, easy access, and playful behaviour.

Simple and playful interaction for informal communication and learning
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Teachers in general usually do not have one single office and they seldom have time for face-to-face interaction with their colleagues since they typically spend most of the time in a classroom. Teachers in rural areas have even less colleagues to interact with face-to-face. In our work with teachers in a rural area near Stockholm, in an archipelago school distributed over six islands, we have encouraged informal communication and learning through a digital notice board connecting all six units. This paper discusses three issues that we find important to focus on in our work; the role of shared interactive displays, simplicity and play as a social activity and the role of communication for informal learning.

Team Meetings within Clinical Domains : Exploring the Use of Routines and Technical Support for Communication
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today, it is common that a team of clinicians, from different disciplines, instead of one single doctor, care for a patient. This is especially true when it concerns more complicated diseases in highly specialised health care. Going from one doctor to a team of doctors raises new dimensions/problems/issues when deciding about the diagnosis and how to treat the patient. Instead of one person deciding, based on the information given from others, a group of people need to agree on a decision. How do the participants during such decision meetings argue for their experience and skill? What kind of technologies are available and how do they support the communication in the meeting? Måseide (2006), for example, focuses on how different forms of evidence influence and regulate the judgements and decisions of medical practitioners during such meetings. Groth et al. (2008), for example, focuses on the technology used during such meetings, with a focus on audio, video, and images.

The role of technology in video-mediated consensus meetings
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare. - : SAGE Publications. - 1357-633X .- 1758-1109. ; 14:7, s. 349-353
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have studied the use of video-mediated technology to facilitate multidisciplinary meetings where consensus is reached about the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The meetings involved 2-5 sites, with 1-20 participants from each site, and concerned patients with severe diseases in the upper abdomen. During a period of about one year we conducted observations and interviews at the Karolinska hospital and some of the local hospitals. Eight video-mediated consensus meetings were video-recorded and transcribed. The audio and the radiology images presented during the meetings were considered to be most important; video was not critical for the consensus meeting itself, but contributed to a feeling of awareness and social presence. We conclude that video-mediated consensus meetings are affected by the technology used, and certain changes in the technology or environment could improve the meetings. Without the technology, such meetings would lead to more travelling for the patient and for the medical staff involved.
