Explore GigaCoMed's user-oriented approach to integrating technology in medical settings for improved collaboration, focusing on demarcation, intervention, and evolution processes. Learn how the project aims to enhance technology-mediated collaboration in distributed healthcare environments. Discover the successful implementation of groupware in hospitals and the transfer of user-oriented strategies to refine technology selection. Dive into the innovative strategies used to bridge the gap between general and specific healthcare needs. This insightful presentation sheds light on the future of collaborative medicine.

GigaCoMed: Collaboration in Medical settings: a design case Jan Gerrit Schuurman (Researcher) May 8th, 2000
Goals of the presentation • What is GigaCoMed about? • What approach is followed? • What are the intended results of the project?
About: The challenge How to fit computer support into practice? Thing + Computer = ?
The equation in collaborative medicine Desired: Collaboration + Computers = Improved Collaboration Problem: The general vs. the particular

The new mono • This is how it looks...
Return to the equation: the approach • How to improve collaboration? • Issue 1: demarcation • What is the system? • What are the goals? • What are the relevant actors? • Issue 2: intervention • What to change? • How to maintain the changes • Issue 3: evolution • How to stimulate further changes, leading to improvement?
Information gathering and structuring • A user oriented design language: structuring interaction (5T’s) • Targets • Themes • Tasks • Tools • Tailoring
What we do... • Demarcation: • using the 5 T’s to structure data gathering and stimulating users and stakeholders to think in terms of the 5 T’s • Intervention: • basing scenario’s upon the input from using the 5T’s, and eventually technology selection • Evolution: • basing workshops, both at the beginning of and during projects upon introducing / inventing new scenario’s given a (partial) determination of the 5T’s
Intended results of the case • Hospital: Successful implementation of groupware, and spin off to other departments and hospitals • GigaCoMed: Refining and transferring the user-oriented approach toward (iterative) technology selection, leading to the improvement of technology mediated collaboration among distributed individuals
