The key research questions I would like to deal with outside of my academic discipline are as follows: I. Modeling Interdisciplinary Healthcare Teams for Collaboration and Coordination:
A multidisciplinary modeling involves integrating multiple disciplines to resolve a problem going outside the individual disciplinary boundaries. An extensive application of this approach can be in the healthcare domain where a multidisciplinary healthcare team is essential to address a complex clinical need. Instead of working in isolation, the interdisciplinary healthcare team, as a team, assesses and takes care of the patients by sharing patients' input to address their needs. As a result, for the patients, it improves patient care by increasing coordination …show more content…
The ACM principally deals with the Adaptive Processes, which are and can be easily adapted to changing conditions. The ACM is substantially convenient for the processes that (1) are unpredictable in their execution, (2) require the ad-hoc inclusion of new actors or team members, (3) use actor knowledge that might not be expressed in rules, (4) require complete data security, process transparency and auditability, and so on. In the literature, the application of ACM is discussed in the health-care domain without any pragmatic application. A formalization of the process management using the ACM might be interesting and yet missing. However, the applicability of ACM approach to modeling an IHT is subject to further …show more content…
The functional aspect defines what tasks to perform in the form of a workflow or sub-workflow while the behavioral aspect defines the process control-flow in the form of ordered activities. The informational aspect is data-centric and it defines the data-flow perspective with the main goal of providing the right data at the right time to the right user or person. The operational aspect concerns the application perspective of the workflow. Finally, the organizational aspect defines who is responsible for completing a task in the workflow, i.e., the coordination. These five aspects should equally be considered for workflow management and pose related research
