DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Small Research proposal is a pilot study for generating initial scenarios and use cases that identify critical links between the healthcare facility information and the medical information from a patient safety perspective. In a hospital setting, a vast amount of dynamic data related to the availability of rooms, technical equipment, waste management, food services, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and maintenance status is processed daily to provide for a smooth operation. Recent examples show that processing the healthcare facility information together with the medical information is important for tracking patients, caregivers, medical equipment and medication, as well as keeping track of contaminations and hospital related infections. Putting healthcare data into its spatial context introduces a significant amount of additional information, and enables the identification of patterns and reasoning mechanisms for usefully interpreting the available information. Although strategies for effective use of information technology to improve patient safety address the medical safety problems during the diagnosis and treatment, patient safety in relation to the healthcare environment and the role of healthcare facility information in this context has not yet been explored adequately. This approach involves developing an overall systems perspective that includes the link between medical information and the whole facility information with content-aware healthcare facilities as the main goal. The specific aims of this proposal are to: (1) investigate specific links and overlaps between patient/medical information and healthcare facility information; (2) develop scenarios and use cases for the critical use of healthcare facility information in relation to patient safety; (3) evaluate developed scenarios and use cases in a real world setting for defining characteristics of a future ontology. The research site is Hershey Medical Center, which is a teaching hospital for the Penn State College of Medicine. A major outcome of the project would be a characterization of facility management processes that have the most impact on the healthcare delivery process and how to maximize their positive impacts and minimize their negative impacts. The project would also identify scenarios where advanced or real-time access to facility information can enhance healthcare delivery and improve patient safety. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Strategies for effective use of information technology to improve patient safety address the medical safety problems during the diagnosis and treatment, however, patient safety in relation to the healthcare environment and the role of healthcare facility information in this context is not explored yet. This approach involves developing an overall systems perspective that includes the link between medical information and the whole facility information with content-aware buildings as the main goal.

描述（由申请人提供）：本小型研究提案是一项试点研究，用于生成初始场景和用例，从患者安全的角度识别医疗机构信息和医疗信息之间的关键联系。在医院环境中，每天都要处理大量与房间可用性、技术设备、废物管理、食品服务、供暖通风和空调（HVAC）系统以及维护状态相关的动态数据，以确保平稳运行。最近的例子表明，处理医疗保健设施信息以及医疗信息对于跟踪患者、护理人员、医疗设备和药物以及跟踪污染和医院相关感染是重要的。将医疗保健数据放入其空间背景中引入了大量的附加信息，并能够识别模式和推理机制，以有效地解释可用信息。尽管有效利用信息技术提高患者安全的策略解决了诊断和治疗过程中的医疗安全问题，但与医疗环境相关的患者安全以及医疗机构信息在此背景下的作用尚未得到充分探讨。这种方法涉及开发一个整体系统的观点，其中包括医疗信息和整个设施信息之间的联系与内容感知的医疗保健设施作为主要目标。该提案的具体目标是：（1）调查患者/医疗信息和医疗机构信息之间的特定链接和重叠;（2）开发与患者安全相关的医疗机构信息的关键使用的场景和用例;（3）在真实的世界环境中评估开发的场景和用例，以定义未来本体的特征。研究地点是好时医疗中心，这是宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院的一家教学医院。该项目的一个主要成果将是对医疗保健提供过程产生最大影响的设施管理过程的特征，以及如何最大限度地发挥其积极影响，最大限度地减少其负面影响。该项目还将确定对设施信息的高级或实时访问可以增强医疗保健服务并提高患者安全性的场景。 公共卫生关系：有效利用信息技术来提高患者安全的策略解决了诊断和治疗过程中的医疗安全问题，但是，与医疗环境相关的患者安全以及医疗机构信息在此背景下的作用尚未探讨。这种方法涉及开发一个整体系统的观点，其中包括医疗信息和整个设施信息之间的联系，并以内容感知建筑物为主要目标。
