David, Here's a link to a paper by Jiajie Zhang and others where they extend heuristic evaluation and task analysis a bit with ideas from distributed cognitive task theory (from earlier work by Zhang and Don Norman) for the medical device domain; e.g. they analyze infusion pump interfaces in the paper. There are newer papers by Zhang on his site, but many are pay-for-access such as ACM Portal.
