Team meetings within clinical domains – exploring the use of routines and technical support for communication
MONDAY 24 AND TUESDAY 25
TEAM MEETINGS WITHIN CLINICAL DOMAINS – EXPLORING THE USE OF ROUTINES AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR COMMUNICATION
CALL FOR PAPERS
OBS! We have extended the deadline for submissions until 20th of May!
Today, it is common that a team of doctors instead of one single doctor, care for a patient. This is especially true when it concerns complicated diseases in highly specialised health care. This raises new issues when deciding about the diagnosis and how to treat the patient. Instead of one person deciding a group of people need to agree on a decision.
The aim of the workshop is to gather people with an interest in different aspects on the meeting process in clinical domains, to build a network and to suggest a special issue in a scientific paper.
We see that the target audience of the workshop is researchers focusing on, and practitioners working within, the health care sector, with experience from issues to be focused on in the workshop. We welcome contributions from a technical and social perspective as well as from practitioners.
The workshop will focus on the following themes, in relation to the communication process during team meetings in health care:
- knowledge management
- multimodal and haptic interfaces,
- visualisation of information,
- interaction with information,
- mediated communication,
- other technologies supporting the meeting
Submissions should be four pages and sent as PDF to Oscar Frykholm (frykholm at kth dot se) at the latest 4th of May. All submissions will be peer reviewed. At least one author of accepted papers needs to register for the workshop and for the conference itself. During the workshop, papers will be presented shortly, but emphasis will be on discussions.
