Verifying Nursing Activities based on Nursing Workflow Model for Detecting Errors

摘要

In this paper, we propose a robust error detection algorithm for nursing care procedures. This algorithm warns of mistakes or neglected tasks in nursing procedures by using observed data from a ubiquitous sensor network. We assume two types of nursing care errors: "neglected tasks" and "tasks done out of sequence." The algorithm focuses on these tasks in fatal errors because such situations demand immediate attention. Its validity has been confirmed by the observed data for nursing care before and after cataract operations.
