Model-guided Therapy and Surgical Workflow Systems are two interrelated research fields, which have been developed separately in the last years. To make full use of both technologies, it is necessary to integrate them and connect them to Hospital Information Systems. We propose a framework for integration of Model-guided Therapy in Hospital Information Systems based on the Electronic Medical Record, and a taskbased Workflow Management System, which is suitable for clinical end users. Two prototypes - one based on Business Process Modeling Language, one based on the serum-board - are presented. From the experience with these prototypes, we developed a novel personalized visualization system for Surgical Workflows and Model-guided Therapy. Key challenges for further development are automated situation detection and a common communication infrastructure.
An operation room is a stressful work environment. Nevertheless, all involved persons have to work safely as there is no space for making mistakes. To ensure a high level of concentration and seamless interaction, all involved persons have to know their own tasks and tasks of their colleagues. The entire team must work synchronously at all times. However, the operation room (OR) is a noisy environment and the actors have to set their focus on their work. To optimize the overall workflow, a task manager supporting the team was developed. Each actor is equipped with a client terminal showing a summary of their own tasks. Moreover, a big screen displays all tasks of all actors. The architecture is a distributed system based on a communication framework that supports the interaction of all clients with the task manager. A prototype of the task manager and several clients have been developed and implemented. The system represents a proof-of-concept for further development. This paper describes the concept of the task manager.
Multi-dimensional patient data, such as time varying volume data, data of different imaging modalities, surface segmentations etc. are of growing importance in the clinical routine. For many use cases, it is of major importance to replicate a certain visualization of a data set created on one machine on a different computer using different software tools. Up until now, there exists no standardized methodology for this consistent presentation. We propose an extension of the Digital Imaging und Communications in Medicine (DICOM) called “Multi dimensional Presentation State” and outline scope and first results of the standardization process.
