This poster builds on comparative ethnographic work of a multi-disciplinary medical team using a paper-based and a computer-based patient record system. It describes the design and preliminary results of an experiment aimed to help articulate an analytical construct that would describe the tradeoffs between a technological setup and a group's ability to negotiate an interaction among themselves. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.3 [Group and Organization Interfaces] General Terms Performance, Design, Human Factors, Theory Keywords CSCW, Interaction Manifold
