Clinical Pathways (CP) provide healthcare personnel with an easy-to-understand high level model of medical steps in specific patient conditions, thereby improving overall process quality in clinical practice. The emergence of new clinical-oriented standards such as openEHR Task Planning (TP) could pose a major step towards clinical process improvement, particularly in complex domains such as infection diagnosis and treatment, where time plays a critical role. In this work, we analyze the suitability of TP to successfully represent time constraints of common process patterns in infections, modelling some of the Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infection (CR-BSI) process patterns as a case study. Our research shows that TP is useful to represent time constraints of infection CPs, although minor improvements could increase its suitability not only for infection processes but for other time-related complex clinical scenarios.
临床路径（CP）为医疗保健人员提供了一种易于理解的特定患者病情下的医疗步骤高级模型，从而提高了临床实践中的整体流程质量。新的以临床为导向的标准（如 openEHR 任务规划（TP））的出现可能是朝着临床流程改进迈出的重要一步，特别是在感染诊断和治疗等复杂领域，时间起着至关重要的作用。在这项工作中，我们分析了 TP 成功表示感染常见过程模式的时间约束的适用性，将一些导管相关血流感染（CR-BSI）过程模式作为案例研究进行建模。我们的研究表明，TP 可用于表示感染 CP 的时间约束，尽管进行一些微小的改进不仅可以提高其对感染过程的适用性，还可以提高其对其他与时间相关的复杂临床场景的适用性。
