چکیده

With proper design, computer-based documentation systems (CBD) can support team-based care and promote workflow efficiency. However, it is unclear what factors to consider in designing an effective workflow-enabled CBD system. In this study, we empirically evaluated how the design of a CBD system, developed for a pediatric cardiology unit, affects clinicians’ work. The results demonstrate that the system facilitated clinical workflow efficiency, primarily due to the design principles of integration and work structuring. Results may inform the future design of CBD systems and other types of heath IT systems.

Architectural Plan for Constructing Fault Tolerable Workflow Engines Based on Grid Service

In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

MoBiFlow: Principles and Design of a Workflow System for Molecular Biology

Web-based problem solving environments provide sharing, execution and monitoring of scientific workflows. Where they depend on general purpose workflow development systems, the workflow notations are likely far too powerful and complex, especially in the area of biology, where programming skills are rare. On the other hand, application specific workflow systems may use special purpose languages...
