Abstract

Emergency department workers use status boards as tools for managing their complex work. These tools have been spontaneously developed by the workers themselves, not inserted into the workplace by management. Status board support memory, planning, synchronous and asynchronous communication, and thereby contribute to shared cognition and coordination.
