摘要:
The management and coordination of the human and material resources needed in the careflow of a hospital is a difficult task. In this paper we propose to use an agent-based system to tackle this problem. This system is an improvement of our previous work on the multi-agent system HeCaSe, that provided a basic set of secure and personalised medical services. An important novelty of our approach is the use of agents to help doctors to follow Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) associated to different pathologies. All the actors of the system are modelled using agents, and CPGs are used to mediate the negotiation of appointments between patients and services with the doctor's supervision.
