| Abstract | Focus groups, interviews and anecdotal evidence suggest that senior clinicians are better than their juniors at managing their task load when working `out of hours' in hospitals. For example experience allows them to prioritise cases which are likely to degrade and to organise their time to account for personal needs such as rest and refreshment. Quantifying this behaviour, and the variations between staff groups, is a complex task. Traditional direct observation and self-report methods are very intrusive, expensive and lack both scalability and validity. In this work we propose the use of positioning technology to augment or replace these traditional methods. We integrate contextual information from a digital task management system with location information to obtain a temporally ordered list of completed tasks with associated timings. The positioning system described in this work is based upon observations of visible WiFi access points. As the clinician moves between wards the set of visible access points changes and can be used to infer location. We propose a method by which access points can be associated with a discrete set of locations. This method removes the need for an expensive, intrusive `ground survey' and is mindful of user privacy by only providing location within the pre-defined set. This paper describes the structure of the problem and a method for the integration of contextual and WiFi visibility data. Exemplar results are given from a limited scale trial performed in a large UK teaching hospital. The novel application of positioning technology to the study of clinical workplace behaviour offers opportunities to drive efficiencies, enhance staff training and hence improve patient safety. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
