Join us for a CHIWORK conversation on October 27, 2022 at 11am EST titled “Organizing Healthcare Work: Challenges and Opportunities in Worker-Centered Shift Planning”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shift planning is a central process in the organization of healthcare work. From the healthcare management perspective, the shift plan represents a balance between the desired quality of care and economic efficiency. In contrast, for individual healthcare workers, the shift plan dominates their entire personal and professional time budgets, including when they can sleep or see their families. Thus, the quality of a shift plan has important consequences for workers\u2019 physical and psychological health, and their ability to organize a fulfilling social life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a long tradition of computer-supported approaches to shift planning in the economic disciplines, research from a Human-Computer Interaction perspective is still rare. In this conversation, Alarith Uhde will talk about
his recent research and design of a worker-centered shift planning system, including a critical perspective on efficiency and automation, and the potential to promote fairness and well-being through the design of worker-centered shift planning systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alarith Uhde studies how technology can shape social relationships to the
better. His recent publications include a series of work on computer-supported collaborative shift planning, with the goal to promote healthcare workers\u2019 fairness, well-being, and team coherence. He also works on the social
acceptability of technologies, and on design approaches that do not only focus on users, but also on other affected people. You can find all of his
