Abstract
As ubiquitous computing technologies have advanced rapidly, context awareness technology has been used in the medical part in order to improve patient safety. Nevertheless, as there is no method for managing context awareness information effectively and managing healthcare processes for handling abnormal situations systematically, it is highly required to enhance patient safety in hospital. We propose an innovative system to solve these problems. The proposed system has three main functionalities. Firstly, it enables all situations to be recognized in medical organizations. Secondly, it extracts the meaningful data from data flood by defining data patterns of recognized situations and designing a rule-based system. Lastly, it can manage patients' abnormal situations in process-centric way by integrating the business process management system. It is expected that the proposed system contributes to the improvement of patient safety in u-hospital.
