PROJECT TITLE :

Emergency Healthcare Workflow Modeling and Timeliness Analysis

ABSTRACT:

A health emergency is a situation that poses an instantaneous risk to health and life and requires urgent intervention to prevent its worsening. Emergency healthcare service is a real-time service, where timeliness is vital to mission success. Workflow management technology has received considerable attention in the healthcare field lately for the automation of both intra- and interorganizational healthcare processes. However, no work on timeliness analysis has been reported. In our previous work, we proposed Workflows Intuitive and Formal Approach (WIFA) formalism for emergency response workflow modeling. During this paper, we have a tendency to extend our WIFA formalism to require task execution times into account to support emergency response timeliness analysis. An example of emergency healthcare shows how the timed WIFA workflow model works.
