The document discusses activity-based computing (ABC) as a framework to enhance collaboration and efficiency in hospital work environments. It outlines the core principles of ABC, including resource aggregation, activity suspension, and sharing, aiming to support clinicians in managing multiple tasks in a mobile and urgent context. The findings are based on evaluations conducted in simulated hospital settings, demonstrating the potential of ABC technologies to improve clinical workflows.

Editor's Notes
- #8: The aim of activity-based computing is precisely to help users to manage the complex set of actions, tools, materials, resources, and people involved in an activity by introducing an explicit representation of the activity into the computer system.
- #11: The principle of activity-centered resource aggregation simply states that activity-based computing needs to support this bundling of relevant resources and services. In hospitals where a great number of electronic medical systems are used, a given activity might, for example, encompass the electronic patient record (EPR), access to lab request applications, medical images, lab results, medical observations such as blood pressure, etc. These services and resources may come from many different sources but all are part of a single activity, which is what gives them meaning to the clinicians involved.
- #15: In activity-based computing, the term “activity awareness” denotes the principle that the computer system maintains information about the users’ real-world activities. This awareness is used to give the user easy access to appropriate resources and tools. Links between particular activities and work contexts can be created to facilitate resumption of relevant activities.
- #33: In this article we have presented the principles, design, and evaluation of activity-based computing support for hospital work. The principles of activity-based computing have emerged through ongoing collaboration with clinicians working in large hospitals. Studies and design sessions with these clinicians pointed to a set of challenges associated with the use of computers in hospital work.
