项目摘要

NSF Proposals 0820198/0820138Title: Process-Centered, Analysis-Driven System Development Applied to Human-Intensive Medical ProcessesPIs: Lori Clarke, Philip Henneman, George Avrunin, Elizabeth Henneman, and Leon OsterweilThis project presents a new approach to developing human-intensive systems in which the coordination among human participants, hardware devices, and application software systems are specified in an executable, process-definition language. Process definitions are subjected to rigorous analysis in order to detect defects and evaluate proposed improvements. Such validated process definitions can then be used to drive simulations and train process participants. The proposed approach is to be evaluated by developing a process support environment that is then used to define and analyze medical processes. Medical processes provide a particularly good evaluation domain as they are human-intensive, involve diverse software applications and hardware devices, and are both safety critical and error prone. Separating and rigorously analyzing the coordination aspects of complex, human-intensive systems represent a paradigm shift from current development practices. This approach provides a strong technical and methodological basis for the engineering of human-intensive systems, leading to systems that are scalable, understandable, and able to amplify human efficacy and control. Finally, this process-centered approach has the potential to improve the quality and reduce the cost of medical care.

NSF 提案 0820198/0820138 标题：应用于人力密集型医疗流程的以流程为中心、分析驱动的系统开发 PI：Lori Clarke、Philip Henneman、George Avrunin、Elizabeth Henneman 和 Leon Osterweil 该项目提出了一种开发人力密集型系统的新方法人类参与者、硬件设备和应用软件系统之间的协调在可执行的流程定义中指定语言。流程定义经过严格分析，以检测缺陷并评估建议的改进。然后，此类经过验证的流程定义可用于驱动模拟和培训流程参与者。所提出的方法将通过开发流程支持环境进行评估，然后用于定义和分析医疗流程。医疗流程提供了一个特别好的评估领域，因为它们是人力密集型的，涉及不同的软件应用程序和硬件设备，并且安全性至关重要且容易出错。分离并严格分析复杂的、人力密集型系统的协调方面代表了当前开发实践的范式转变。这种方法为人力密集型系统的工程提供了强大的技术和方法基础，从而形成可扩展、可理解并能够增强人类效率和控制的系统。最后，这种以流程为中心的方法有可能提高医疗质量并降低医疗成本。
