Abstract

In this paper we present results from the case studies of two homecare groups that have recently adopted the same workflow system. From these, we present evidence that the physical layout of the meeting space can generate spheres of collaboration that influence interaction between team members, the technology and each other. This paper contributes to the CHI literature by presenting case study evidence of technological implementations in a co-located environment that have affected social spaces to create different spheres of collaboration.
