*Abstract*
This webinar introduces participants to the practical challenges of
conducting consumer health informatics-related fieldwork in home and
community settings and strategies for overcoming these challenges. As
health care shifts to the home and community, patients are increasingly
becoming active care participants. Consumer health informatics (CHI) tools
such as personal health records, online health communities, and remote
monitoring systems are being developed to support patients in this role.
However, patient use of CHI tools is often suboptimal, and there is mixed
evidence regarding intervention effectiveness, efficiency, and
patient-centeredness. Thus, while the potential benefits of CHI tools have
been demonstrated, it is clear that new design and implementation methods
are required. Jimison and colleagues’ review showed that design and
implementation approaches facilitating integration of CHI tools into users’
daily routines may lead to more extensive adoption of these technologies.
Building on this insight, this webinar presents two complimentary
theoretical frameworks that hold promise for achieving such daily routine
integration through simultaneous attention to patient, family members,
activity, and context. Application of these frameworks requires fieldwork
in home and community settings. The present tutorial responds to
participants’ request for further instruction related to the practical
challenges and strategies associated with conducting this CHI-related
fieldwork. While some of these challenges and strategies overlap with those
associated with fieldwork in more controlled health care institutional
settings, many are unique to patients’ home and community living
environments. Application exercises in this webinar will focus on 1)
identifying challenges related to gaining access to home and community
environments, conducting data collection activities in these environments,
and translating the data generated into design guidance for CHI tools and
2) selecting strategies to address these challenges that balance the needs
of community participants, the needs of the research/design team, and the
integrity of the project.

Richard J. Holden is assistant professor of BioHealth Informatics at the
Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing, Indianapolis. He
received a joint PhD in industrial engineering and psychology from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009. Dr. Holden’s research applies
human factors engineering and psychology to study and improve the work
performance of patients, informal caregivers, and clinicians. He has
investigated multiple healthcare interventions, including information
technology, team-based care, and lean process redesign. He has participated
in 13 grants from the National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality, Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, and
other federal agencies. Dr. Holden has authored over 80 scholarly works in
the fields of human factors, patient safety and quality, biomedical
informatics, and research methods.

*Laurie Lovett Novak, PhD, MHSA*
[image: Inline image 4]
Dr. Novak is Assistant Professor in the Vanderbilt University Department of
Biomedical Informatics. Her research examines the routinized, everyday
practices of patients and health care workers. Domains of study have
included: 1) everyday management of diabetes, pregnancy, cardiac disease,
and asthma, 2) medication administration in the inpatient setting,
including practitioners’ understandings of risk and safety, 2) information
security beliefs and practices in organizations, and 4) care coordination.
The impact of new technology and other disruptions on routines has been a
key focus of Dr. Novak’s research. In the VU graduate program in biomedical
informatics, she teaches qualitative methods, evaluation methods, and
organizational studies.
Dr. Novak obtained her PhD in medical and organizational Anthropology at
Wayne State University, and a masters degree in Health Services Management
and Policy from the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She is
currently the chair of the People and Organizational Issues Working Group
in the American Medical Informatics Association.

*Rupa S. Valdez, PhD*
[image: Inline image 3]
Dr. Valdez received her PhD at the University of Wisconsin in 2012. She is
a human factors engineer and informaticist who has conducted research and
lectured on topics at the intersection of consumer health IT, human factors
engineering, public health, and cultural anthropology. Her work has a
strong focus on underserved populations, including racial/ethnic minorities
and individuals living with disabilities. Dr. Valdez has received research
support from multiple federal organizations and has provided consulting
services to the National Academies of Science, the VA, and AHRQ. She served
on the steering committee for AMIA's Health Policy Meeting on Advancing
Patient Centered Care, Collaboration, Communication, and Coordination and
as co-chair for the Health IT Track of the 2014 International Symposium on
Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care. She is an assistant professor
of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Virginia.

*Christopher L. Simpson, MA*

Mr. Simpson is a Research Manager in the Vanderbilt University Department
of Biomedical Informatics. He coordinates and conducts research projects
using qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. Domains of study
have included: 1) everyday management of diabetes, pregnancy, and cardiac
disease 2) medication administration in the inpatient setting 3)
understanding information exchange between breast cancer patients and
providers during chemotherapy treatment 3) evaluation of the High School
Scholars program for AMIA, and 4) care coordination in outpatient clinics.
Areas of research interest include minority health disparities, community
engaged research and environmental determinants of health.

Mr. Simpson obtained his Master of Arts degree in Medical and Urban
Anthropology at the University of Memphis, and a Bachelor of Science degree
in Anthropology (focus on Archaeology) from Middle Tennessee State
University.
