Developing a framework for evaluation of technology use at multidisciplinary meetings in healthcare

Identifying an appropriate method to evaluate the use of technology during patient case discussions at multidisciplinary medical team (MDT) meetings, is problematic. A number of approaches conducted over an extended period of study are described and the lessons learned are explained. A framework is proposed to serve as a basis for evaluation of technology use in these complex collaborative work settings that incorporates hospital, technology and people perspectives.
