Emergency healthcare delivery involves a variety of activities performed from the time of a call to the ambulance service till the time of patient's disposal from the emergency department of a hospital. Workflow systems have recently received considerable attention in the healthcare field since they overcome organizational structures and support collaboration and coordination requirements by automatically routing relevant information where and when needed. In particular, healthcare workflow systems implemented over the Web can form the basis for a collaborative environment by bringing together healthcare professionals who are geographically dispersed and, hence, creating virtual healthcare workgroups organized around patient care. In this paper, a web-based workflow system is presented that was developed to support emergency healthcare processes and to provide an infrastructure for the integration of pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency healthcare.
紧急医疗服务涵盖了从呼叫救护车服务之时起，直至患者从医院急诊科转出期间所进行的各种活动。工作流系统最近在医疗领域受到了广泛关注，因为它们打破了组织结构的限制，并通过在需要的时间和地点自动传递相关信息，来支持协作与协调需求。特别是，基于网络实施的医疗工作流系统，能够汇聚地理位置分散的医疗专业人员，从而形成一个协作环境的基础，进而创建围绕患者护理组织起来的虚拟医疗工作组。本文介绍了一个基于网络的工作流系统，该系统旨在支持紧急医疗流程，并为院前和院内紧急医疗的整合提供基础设施。
