Abstract

Schedule management of hospitalization is important to maintain or improve the quality of medical care. Application of a clinical pathway has been proposed as one of the important solutions for the management. This research proposed an data-oriented maintenance and construction of clinical pathways by using data on histories of nursing orders stored in hospital information system. The method was evaluated on data extracted from a hospital information system. The results show that the reuse of stored data will give a powerful tool for management of nursing schedule and lead to improvement of hospital services.
