- Research reporting of ethnographic studies conducted within situated circumstances often detail broad, general methods used, rather than specific challenges and strategies adopted to ensure successful outcomes. This paper is significant because it presents experiences from several case studies within a health care setting and, for the first time, details many challenges faced by ethnographic, human-computer interaction, or technology human factors researchers. A significant contribution of this paper is to (i) make visible many of the lessons learnt in conducting technology studies in healthcare and (ii) translate these lessons into strategies that other researchers follow.
