A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation (2014)
Journal Article
Gordon, N., Kabir, S., Sharvia, S., Walker, M., & Al-Qora’n, L. (in press). A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 4(3), 82-91. https://doi.org/10.14569/SpecialIssue.2014.040310

Clinical workflows are safety critical workflows as they have the potential to cause harm or death to patients. Their safety needs to be considered as early as possible in the development process. Effective safety analysis methods are required to ens... Read More about A safety analysis approach to clinical workflows : application and evaluation.

Investigating heuristic evaluation as a methodology for evaluating pedagogical software: An analysis employing three case studies (2014)
Journal Article
Nganji, J., Brayshaw, M., Gordon, N., Butterfield, A., & Wen, L. (2014). Investigating heuristic evaluation as a methodology for evaluating pedagogical software: An analysis employing three case studies. Lecture notes in computer science, 8523 LNCS(PART 1), 25-35. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07482-5_3

This paper looks specifically at how to develop light weight methods of evaluating pedagogically motivated software. Whilst we value traditional usability testing methods this paper will look at how Heuristic Evaluation can be used as both a driving...

Sustainable development as a framework for ethics and skills in higher education computing courses (2014)
Book Chapter
Gordon, N. (2015). Sustainable development as a framework for ethics and skills in higher education computing courses. In W. Leal Filho, L. Brandli, O. Kuznetsova, & A. Maria Finisterra do Paço (Eds.), Integrative Approaches to Sustainable Development at University Level (345-357). Springer Publishing Company. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-10690-8_24

The impact of sustainable development on the curriculum remains variable, and in some disciplines the inclusion is considered by some to be inappropriate or not relevant. This paper considers the ways in which sustainable development can be embedded... Read More about Sustainable development as a framework for ethics and skills in higher education computing courses.

An approach to safety analysis of clinical workflows (2014)
Journal Article
Al-Qora'n, L., Gordon, N., Sharvia, S., Walker, M., & Papadopoulos, Y. (2014). An approach to safety analysis of clinical workflows. Athens Journal of Health, 1(3), 201-216. https://doi.org/10.30958/ajh.1-3-4

A clinical workflow considers the information and processes that are involved in providing a clinical service. They are safety critical since even minor faults have the potential to propagate and consequently cause harm to a patient, or even for a pa...
