Currently, I work as Associate Professor in Information Systems at Karlstad University Business School and I am an Irish State Registered Medical Scientist. My PhD study in 2008 is on an analysis of multidisciplinary medical team meetings and the use of ICT. Originally I trained, and worked, as a biomedical scientist and specialised in Cell Pathology. While working in a senior scientific role as a departmental manager, I undertook an M.Sc. Management in Organisation Behaviour. Later, following the successful implementation of an IT project, I became keenly interested in health informatics and completed an M.Sc (Health Informatics) in 2003.
I continue to pursue research in health services. One of my studies is on the provision of, and equity of access to, emergency services in Ireland. I also have a special interest in the use of ICT in healthcare, teamwork and meetings. Issues surrounding more efficient record keeping and tools to enhance collaboration and communication are among my research projects.
As well as lecturing on a variety of subject areas from time to time as opportunities present, I am an associate lecturer for Dublin City University Business School, and I have lectured for Trinity College Dublin, Dublin Institute of Technology, Kevin St., Hibernia College and National College of Ireland in the past.
My aim is to develop my academic interests and find solutions to make health services more effective. I am a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Medical Informatics (Elsevier), Health Informatics Journal (Sage) and I am an Associate Editor to the Journal of Behaviour and Information Technology (Taylor & Francis).
Specialties: Health service research, CSCW, HCI, IT implementation, clinical laboratory service development, (cell pathology) diagnostic work, team leader, tutor. I have a wide range of experience that includes technology implementation, working with HL7, SNOMED, and LOINC standards and coding systems and also with ISO quality work systems.
