SOP-Creator - A Tool for the Management of Standard Operating Procedures
نویسنده
چکیده
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a significant element of quality assurance in health care. They consist of practical, mandatory instructions for frequently occurring tasks in the performance of clinical trials. The methods of how to accomplish these tasks embody the current state of medical knowledge and are approved by a consensus vote of domain experts. This paper shows the usefulness of a workflow-based web application for knowledge distribution in large research networks. It analyses the needs for coordinated collaboration, describes conceptual aspects and discusses an approach to formalise SOPs.

متن کاملReservoir Operation During Droughts
Drought is an inevitable part of the world’s climate. It occurs in wet as well as in dry regions. Therefore, planning for drought and mitigating its impacts is essential. In this study, a hedging rule is developed using the zero/one mixed integer-programming approach. Furthermore, some procedures are introduced to ease the computational burden inherent in integer programming. Hedging rules are ...
متن کاملStandard Operating Procedures: Collaborative Development and Distributed Use
This paper describes a system that supports the distributed development and deployment of Standard Operating Procedures. The system is based on popular, open-source wiki software for the SOP development, and the I-X task-centric agent framework for deployment. A preliminary evaluation using an SOP for virtual collaboration is described and shows the potential of the approach.
متن کاملAn Ontology for Clinical Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures
This paper reports on a knowledge representation model, OCL-SOP, that formally defines key entities pertinent to clinical laboratory procedures. OCL-SOP provides a formal description of laboratory experimental actions, biochemical entities involved, equipment used, input and output data, and the data processing actions. We developed OCL-SOP in collaboration with domain experts. We demonstrate t...
متن کاملCan Standard Operating Procedures be Motivating? Reconciling Process Variability Issues and Behavioural Outcomes
It is generally agreed that requiring employees to perform their tasks according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can improve production outcomes in the context of repetitive manufacturing. Attempts to link SOP use to intrinsic motivation – a requirement for creativity – have, however, resulted in controversy. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between required SOP use and worker...
