Embodiment Construction

[0010] figure 1 It schematically shows the principle structure of the workflow management system and the device of the present invention. In this case, the workflow management system 2 is implemented together with the device 3 according to the invention in a hospital information system 1 which is usually based on a computer network. The device 3 according to the invention comprises in this example modules integrated into a unit 4 (mapping module 11 , allocation module 12 and preparation module 14 ), as well as a resource database 5 and a work steps database 6 .

[0011] In this embodiment, only the diabetes criterion 7a, the stroke criterion 7b and the X-ray criterion 7c among the medical criteria are shown as examples, and these criteria 7a-7c can appear in different criteria formats 8a to 8c when implementing the medical criteria. The machine-readable data models of these guideline formats 8a to 8c are read in by the device 3 of the invention, as in figure 1 indicated by t...

Abstract

A facility is for adapting a machine-readable data model, particularly medical guidelines, for import into a clinical workflow management system. The facility includes a mapping system including a work step database, with a hierarchic breakdown of work steps. It further includes at least one of a mapping module which maps work steps in the data model which has been read in, which belong to a different hierarchic level than the level used in the system, by polling the work step database for work steps on the hierarchic level of the system, and / or an association system including a resource database, which contains an association between generic resource titles in the data model and actual resources in the institution. Finally, the facility includes an association module which translates generic resource titles in the data model which has been read in into actual resources in the institution by polling the resource database. As such, it allows automated, computer-aided import of medical guidelines, in particular, into clinical workflow management systems with reduced time and work involvement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for adapting machine-readable data models, in particular medical guidelines, for their introduction into a workflow management system of an institution. Background technique [0002] So-called medical principles have become more and more important in the field of medical services in recent years. These medical guidelines are the disposition and judgment of medical personnel, especially the recommendations of physicians. These recommendations are made by consensus by a superior or generally recognized medical committee. [0003] Parallel to this, medical information systems are increasingly used in medical institutions such as specialist hospitals or doctor's offices, which also allow automatic support of medical workflows by means of so-called workflow management systems. Here, the diagnosis and treatment process is structured as a machine-readable data model, and the entire workflow is supported, monitored and docum...
