Activity patterns in health care: identifying building blocks for the CPR

Abstract

Concerning the development and adoption of the computer-based patient record (CPR), an unsolved problem is still the approach that should be taken to construct a highly configurable, generic CPR. The first step in finding such an approach, is the identification of generic activity patterns. These are considered to be helpful in the identification of components. We identified twelve generic activity patterns in the interaction between a patient and a care-cluster.
