An ambient assisted living architecture for hospital at home coupled with a process-oriented perspective.

The growing number of next-generation applications offers a relevant opportunity for healthcare services, generating an urgent need for architectures for systems integration. Moreover, the huge amount of stored information related to events can be explored by adopting a process-oriented perspective. This paper discusses an Ambient Assisted Living healthcare architecture to manage hospital home-care services.

Agent-oriented Decision Support System for Business Processes Management with Genetic Algorithm Optimization: an Application in Healthcare.

Agent-based approaches have been known to be appropriate as systems and methods in medical administration in recent years. The increased attention to processes led to the recent growth of Business Process Management discipline, which quite exclusively adopt discrete-event modeling and simulation. This paper proposes a medical agent-oriented decision support system to integrate the achievements from management science, agent-based modeling, and artificial intelligence.

A Process Mining Application for the Analysis of Hospital-at-Home Admissions.

This article proposes the analysis of the admissions to hospital-at-home service within the framework of process mining. In addition to conventional modeling in standard languages, relying on interviews and continuous improvement, we propose the adoption of an automatic process discovery technique based on data collected by the hospital information system. We focus on the patient admission process, in which staff discriminate cases of interest for the service.
