The objective of the team display is to present a current and dynamic situation picture to the healthcare team. The challenges in designing such a display are determining the relevant situational information and presenting it in a way that is timely, unobtrusive, and not overloading. The tips here focus on designing situation displays for healthcare teams during a clinical procedure (such as a surgery or a procedure in the emergency unit). These tips are based on the experience of designing two healthcare team situation displays, one for the cardiac OR team and the other for the ED/Resuscitation bay team, as well knowledge transferred from forest fire incident management.
