Abstract

The work reported in this paper is part of a project aiming at introducing vocal modality into the electronic anaesthesia record in Denmark. The purpose of the paper is to offer a basis for comprehending the use of anaesthesia records in work practice, to list the current main issues and possible improvements, and finally to foresee the impact of the addition of a new voice interface. The present paper is the result of a collaboration between an engineer, involved in making prototypes of the system described above, and a socio-ergonomist. The analysis is based on a literature review, interviews and direct observations.
