CPOE/EHR-driven healthcare workflow generation and scheduling

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2006:2006:940.

Abstract

Automated healthcare workflow generation and scheduling is an approach to ensure the use of the evidence-based protocols. Generating efficient and practical workflows is challenging due to the dynamic nature of healthcare practice and operations. We propose to use Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) components to generate workflows (consisting of scheduled work items) to aid healthcare (nursing) operations. Currently, we are prototyping and developing requirements for such a system.
