Understanding digital checklist use through team communication.
Introducing technology support in a complex, team-based work setting requires a study of teamwork effects on technology use. In this paper, the investigators present their initial analysis of team communications in a trauma resuscitation setting, where they deployed a digital checklist to support trauma team leaders in guiding patient care. They discuss design implications for checklist design for dynamic, team-based activities.

Using TURF to understand the functions of interruptions.
TURF stands for Task, User, Representation, and Function (TURF) analyses. This paper explores interruptions as an emergent feature of communication in teams. The authors focus on emergency medicine as this complex environment requires team based concurrent management of multiple patients coping with limited resources in a life-critical and interruption-laden environment. They classify interruptions into those activities that support required work and those interruptions that create unnecessary breaks in workflow.
