Abstract

In recent, hospital information systems are widely used to electronically record, manage and share the data collected in hospitals. Such systems have contributed greatly to improving the work efficiency in modern hospitals, however, the collected data concerning the patients should be appropriately processed and reused to provide the healthcare service providers with decision supports. Especially, this paper proposes the patient flow monitoring system for the operations management of the outpatient department for patients with chronic diseases, and discusses the related issues. The proposed system visualizes the standard process model extracted from the patient history data and various performance measures, and this enables the managers to evaluate and enhance the operations of the outpatient clinic. In this paper, the patient flow monitoring system is applied to the rheumatology clinic, and the prototype system optimized for I-pad is illustrated.

최근 병원에서 수집되는 데이터를 전자적으로 저장, 관리 및 공유하기 위하여 병원정보시스템이 널리 활용되고 있다. 이러한 시스템들은 현대 병원들의 업무 효율성 제고에 크게 기여해왔으나, 건강관리 서비스 제공자들의 의사 결정을 지원하기 위해서는 수집된 환자 관련 데이터를 적절히 가공하고 재사용하는 것이 필요하다. 특히, 본 논문은 만성 질환과 관련된 외래진료과 운영관리를 위한 환자 플로우 모니터링을 제안하고, 이와 관련된 사항들에 대해 토의하고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템은 환자 이력 데이터에 프로세스 마이닝 기법을 적용하여 추출한 표준 프로세스 모형 및 여러 가지 평가 지표들을 시각화하며, 이를 통해 관리자들은 외래진료과의 운영을 평가하고 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 환자 플로우 모니터링 시스템을 류머티스 진료과에 적용하였으며, 아이패드 기기에 최적화된 프로토타입 시스템을 예시로 보이고자 한다.
