title: Modelling work practices: input to the design of a physician's workstation.
abstract: To ensure tight coupling between users' work practices and the system's model of these practices, designers need methods to generate accurate descriptions of what users actually do. This paper illustrates how we model physicians' information needs and translate knowledge about these needs into design specifications.
