- Description: Diagrams for four different health care settings have been proposed: Snapshot Diagram, Diagnosis Diagram, Strength of Evidence Diagram and Patient Pathway Diagram The availability of large amount of digital health care data and potential to utilize its benefits led to the development of these diagrams. This paper presents an analysis of the diagrams based on the selection of a subset of Gestalt principles deemed relevant for each diagram. Although Gestalt and human-computer interaction principles are advanced to apply to all diagrams or user interfaces, in practice a sub-set of principles must be selected to evaluate a diagram or interface The selection of a subset of principles to use on a diagram has not been widely studied. This paper presents an approach for identifying a subset of relevant Gestalt principles tailored for each of the four diagrams advanced for health care settings. © 2020 IEEE.

- Description: Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that Multi-Disciplinary Meetings (MDM) practiced in some medical contexts can contribute to positive health care outcomes. The group reasoning and decision-making in MDMs has been found to be most effective when deliberations revolve around the patient’s needs, comprehensive information is available during the meeting, core members attend and the MDM is effectively facilitated. This article presents a case study of the MDMs in cancer care in a region of Australia. The case study draws on a group reasoning model called the Reasoning Community model to analyse MDM deliberations to illustrate that many factors are important to support group reasoning, not solely the provision of pertinent information. The case study has implications for the use of data analytics in any group reasoning context. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
