Abstract :
This article reports our experiences with deploying the iHospital system, a hospital scheduling and awareness system. We built the system to support the often intense coordination of operations in a large hospital, and to this end, it incorporates location tracking, a context-awareness system, large interactive displays, and mobile phones
