Hemodialysis is life-saving therapy for end-stage renal disease; yet, 20% of hemodialysis sessions are complicated by intradialytic hypotension ("IDH"). There is a need for approaches to preventing IDH that account for their implementation contexts. ...

There is an increasing demand from healthcare providers for timely and accurate information about patients' conditions, to support appropriate decision making about their needs. Often, healthcare providers have limited data access due to complex issues ...

In this paper we present three examples of common variations in patient trajectories and how this is supported by various computer systems.

We highlight how deviations from planned work cause different information needs and implications for design of ...

Based on ethnographic field observations and interviews with clinicians, we compare communication patterns and use of communication technology at a geriatric department and an emergency department at a Norwegian hospital. Both departments used a similar ...

As computing technologies in examination rooms become a more pervasive and dominant part of the healthcare experience, those technologies can disrupt the flow of information and empathic communication between a clinician and patient. We investigated how ...

The UK National Health Service (NHS) launched its biggest Information Technology (IT) programme to revolutionise the way care is delivered. Despite these high expectations UK government believes that the greatest challenge to the success of the National ...
