Coordinated Hospital Patient Scheduling

by Keith Decker, Jinjiang Li - In Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS98 , 1998
"... Hospital Patient Scheduling is an inherently distributed problem because of the way real hospitals are organized. As medical procedures have become more complex, and their associated tests and treatments have become interrelated, the current ad hoc patient scheduling solutions have been observed to ..."

Distributed Patient Scheduling in Hospitals

by T. O. Paulussen, Inf Sys Dept, K. S. Decker, A. Heinzl, N. R. Jennings - Coordination and Agent Technology in Value Networks. GITO , 2003

Agent Oriented Specification for Patient-Scheduling Systems in Hospitals

by A. Bartelt, W. Lamersdorf, T. O. Paulussen, A. Heinzl , 2002
"... Introduction Patient-scheduling in hospitals is a complex task which requires new computational methods, e.g. market mechanisms and enhanced support by software agents. These demands are addressed by the MedPAge-Project (Medical Path Agents) which covers the development of a multiagent -system for ..."

for which an agent oriented specification will be presented. Firstly, based on field studies in five German hospitals, the hospital domain is analysed (c.f. [9]). In this domain analysis, a generic hospital structure is derived and the relevant co-ordination objects for patient-scheduling are identified

Coordinated Multi-Agents Based Patient Scheduling Using Genetic Algorithm

by E. Grace Mary Kanaga, M. L. Valarmathi, J. Dhiviya Rose
"... Abstract- Scheduling is inevitable and an integral part of hospital management. Effective patient scheduling can improve hospital service quality by minimizing the waiting/stay time for patients in the hospital and operation efficiency by optimizing the utilization of resources. However, in practice ..."

"... This project intends to identify and develop context-specific measurements that would capture nursing’s contribution to the quality of care provided to the patient during their visit to the hospital. In this time period nurses play a critical role in many facets of establishing of care quality. Ther ..."

Decentralized online scheduling of combination-appointments in hospitals

by I B Vermeulen , S M Bohté , S G Elkhuizen , J S Lameris , P J M Bakker , Poutré , J A La - In: Proceedings of ICAPS 2008 , 2008
"... Abstract We consider the online problem of scheduling combination appointments for outpatients. Scheduling multiple appointments on a single day is high on the list of outpatient preferences. It is hard to achieve for two reasons: first, due to the typical distributed authority in hospitals, schedu ..."

, scheduling combination appointments requires coordination between departments. Second, there is a trade-off between local scheduling efficiency and the fulfillment of patient scheduling preferences. We present a multi-agent approach, where patient agents coordinate with department agents. For individual

Temporal Coordination: On Time and Coordination of Collaborative Activities at a Surgical Department

by Jakob E. Bardram - In Journal of Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 9(2), ACM , 2000
"... Abstract. An activity is inseparably bound up with time, and interdependent cooperative activities thus need to be coordinated in time. The nature of time is therefore an ever-present issue in the design of computer systems supporting coordination. Based on Activity Theory this paper defines the con ..."
