Description
A Humanist in the Hospital. Cultural Assessments of Electronic Health Records is an attempt to frame Electronic Health Records in a cultural perspective. The approach is mainly phenomenological and constructionist, and has a particular focus on the potentials of art as a model for explanation and understanding that transcends the artistic realm. The main contribution of the book is the development and application of a method for videoobservation of phenomnological character that was used to catch and document workprocedures in hospitals as Electronic Health Records were introduced.
