Background
Electronic and paper-based visual management tools are used to coordinate teams in healthcare. But what impact do they have on staff and patient experiences?
This project will look at the use of visual management tools, endeavouring to improve on staff and patient experiences. It will focus on team organisational ergonomics, social informatics, and the interaction between quality of service and safety of care delivered.
