Abstract:
This paper focuses on resource scheduling for
patients at emergency department in hospitals. Scheduling
and coordinating of patients at emergency department is
faced with a high amount of complexity due to the inherent
dynamics of the processes and the distributed
organizational structure of hospitals. As a solution,
multi-agent system is presented, in which patients,
emergency department human resources and physical
resources are represented as autonomous agents. These
agents are able to read flexibly to changes and disturbances
(e.g. emergencies and complications) through proactiveness
and reactivates. The solution is mainly focuses
on emergency situations at hospitals. Emergency admission
is when admission is unpredictable and at short notice
because of clinical need. This paper describes a solution to
overcome the difficulties that occurs at the emergency
situations. The system has been developed on Jade
environment and can run on any compute!".
