Laptops On Trolleys: Lessons From A Mobile-Wireless Hospital Ward, Stephen Weeding, Linda Dawson Jan 2014

Laptops On Trolleys: Lessons From A Mobile-Wireless Hospital Ward, Stephen Weeding, Linda Dawson

Associate Professor Linda Dawson

Most hospital-based staff can be considered to be mobile but many hospital information systems (HIS) are based on fixed desk top computers. Wireless networks allow HIS to be brought to the point of care using mobile devices such as laptops on trolleys thus providing data which can aid in clinical decision-making. The research objective of this project focusses on the collaborative design of a laptop solution for providing data at the point of care. The research approach was based on a combination of action research and design science. Action research techniques including participant observation and informal oneto- one discussions were …

Towards A Framework For Mobile Information Environments: A Hospital-Based Example, Linda Dawson, Sea Ling, Maria Indrawan, Stephen Weeding, Juanita Femando

Associate Professor Linda Dawson

We propose a conceptual framework to describe and understand mobile information environments. In our proposal, such an environment can be categorised into different abstraction levels or communities: user level, workflow level, device level and architecture level. A hospital-based example is then used as an illustration for the proposed framework.
