The peri-surgical process in a hospital comprises all clinical workflows like admission of the patient on the ward, surgery, nursing, and discharge of the patient from hospital. The goal of the project is to provide an assistance-system which relieves the nurse, who coordinates all operations, from certain tasks. The system should simplify common and important tasks in the peri-surgical process, for example planning a schedule, coordinating, communication, and surveillance. One challenging task of the system will be to react flexibly to unexpected events like emergencies, labour shortage, and delays.
Three partners from industry and research are involved in this project, which is partly financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant 01IS099009A. Partners are Gecko mbH, the University of Rostock, and IT Science Center Rügen gGmbH.
