A Decision Support System For Skill-Based Nurse Scheduling In An Intensive Care Unit

Towards a Medical Intensive Care Unit Decision Support System Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) medical processes can be so complex and unpredictable that physicians sometimes must make decisions based on perception. Both decision support system and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic (IFL) techniques can assist doctors to handle this complexity in a safe, harmless and efficient manner. To this end, we propose a prototype called Medical Intuitionistic Fuzzy Expert Decisio...

Advanced Pervasive Clinical Decision Support for the Intensive Care Unit

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) already have proven their use in supporting physicians and nurses in their daily responsibilities. However the uptake of these systems remains low. This is due to a number of reasons, such as little to no integration within the workflow of the medical staff, a multitude of available devices and a large amount of medical data that has to be processed. Thi...

Nursing Care and Documentation Assistant with an Electronic Nursing Management System in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Background: All nursing cares require decision-making, and the ability to make the best decisions impact upon the quality of nursing care. Moreover, authenticity and accuracy of the best cares may be questioned if not recorded and reported properly and in a standard manner. We aimed to design and implement an electronic nursing managementsystem and then evaluate satisfaction of nurses with the ...

ForecastICU: A Prognostic Decision Support System for Timely Prediction of Intensive Care Unit Admission

We develop ForecastICU: a prognostic decision support system that monitors hospitalized patients and prompts alarms for intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. ForecastICU is first trained in an offline stage by constructing a Bayesian belief system that corresponds to its belief about how trajectories of physiological data streams of the patient map to a clinical status. After that, ForecastICU ...
