**This CHI 2013 workshop aims to produce a graduate guidebook on HCI Fieldwork in Healthcare**

HCI Fieldwork in Healthcare – Creating a Guidebook
in conjunction with CHI 2013: http://chi2013.acm.org

Website: http://hcihealthcarefieldwork.wordpress.com

---------------------------------------------------------------

Performing fieldwork in healthcare settings is significantly different to other domains and it presents unique challenges to researchers. There are issues in terms of negotiating ethics, gaining access and knowing where to study; there are challenges in being an outsider in private places that are emotionally charged, with potential for patient nudity and invasive procedures; there are challenges for high-risk innovation and measuring research impact. Whilst results are reported in research papers, the details of how to actually perform these fieldwork studies are not.

This workshop will bring together a diverse selection of research and researchers who do fieldwork in clinical and non-clinical settings: e.g. hospital, homecare and with mobile technology. It will focus on producing a graduate guidebook for HCI fieldwork in healthcare (published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers). Case studies that are submitted by participants will be selected and revised to form one volume of the book. Participants will be expected to co-author thematic chapters that crosscut these case studies to draw out issues and lessons learnt for the second volume of the book.

We invite researchers in all disciplines who do fieldwork in healthcare to submit a 3-6 page case study that focuses on methodology and research experience rather than results. Please also submit a cover letter as an attachment which should include (1) a brief biography of the participant written in the third person (100 words), (2) how they will benefit from participation (100 words) and (3) what they will contribute (100 words).  Along with the reviews of the case studies from the program committee, the cover letters will be used by the organisers in the acceptance decisions and the brief biographies will be posted on the website to facilitate connections between participants before the workshop.

Please direct any questions to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and submit your paper and cover letter through the website: http://hcihealthcarefieldwork.wordpress.com
