        Abstract

        Motivation – Link Analysis (LA) is a method to study relationships of elements within a system, and it is also used as a data recording method of Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM), e.g. capturing staff movements. However LA has limitations, such as time-consuming data recording and results generating processes. Research approach – Computerised Link Analysis (CLA) system is being developed and tested by computerising template generating, real-time event recording and data analysing processes. Design – The first version of system has been accomplished and its description is included to demonstrate its versatility. Research limitations – This system is still at an early prototype stage and improvements and tests need to be conducted. Value – CLA is the first system which is designed specially for healthcare domain and has proven to save plenty of time compared to manual method. Take away message – CLA system is able to offer analysts an efficient and effective tool to perform LA.

          A PDA-based system for online recording and analysis of concurrent events in complex behavioral processes.

           Tanja Manser,  P J Held (2005)
          This article outlines how a Palm- or Newton-based PDA (personal digital assistant) system for online event recording was used to record and analyze concurrent events. We describe the features of this PDA-based system, called the FIT-System (flexible interface technique), and its application to the analysis of concurrent events in complex behavioral processes--in this case, anesthesia work processes. The patented FIT-System has a unique user interface design allowing the user to design an interface template with a pencil and paper or using a transparency film. The template usually consists of a drawing or sketch that includes icons or symbols that depict the observer's representation of the situation to be observed. In this study, the FIT-System allowed us to create a design for fast, intuitive online recording of concurrent events using a set of 41 observation codes. An analysis of concurrent events leads to a description of action density, and our results revealed a characteristic distribution of action density during the administration of anesthesia in the operating room. This distribution indicated the central role of the overlapping operations in the action sequences of medical professionals as they deal with the varying requirements of this complex task. We believe that the FIT-System for online recording of concurrent events in complex behavioral processes has the potential to be useful across a broad spectrum of research areas.

            Reviewing ambulance design for clinical efficiency and paramedic safety.

             Joaquim Ferreira,  Sue Hignett (2004)
            This study aimed to review the layout of the patient compartment in a UK ambulance for paramedic efficiency and safety using: (1) link analysis; (2) postural analysis. Paramedics were observed over 16 shifts (130 h) carrying out a range of clinical tasks. The most frequently occurring clinical tasks were checking blood oxygen saturation, oxygen administration, monitoring the heart and checking blood pressure. Access to the equipment and consumables to support these tasks had been designed for the attendant seat (head end of the stretcher), however, a link analysis found that paramedics preferred to sit along side the stretcher which resulted in increased reach distances. The higher frequency tasks were found to include over 40% of working postures which required corrective measures. It was concluded that future ambulance design should be based on an ergonomics analysis (including link analysis and postural analysis) of clinical activities.
