title: A study of medical emergency workflow.
abstract: In this paper, the authors introduce a workflow model. The development of computer network technology enables us to share the distributed data in real time. It is a considerable significance in the practical application of network capabilities not only to office work but also to the medical environment. In order to construct a well-connected, managed post (environment, scene), a model is needed to design the workflow. Here we propose a workflow model to cope with the scene of unforeseen events that we usually encounter in daily clinical activities. We give careful consideration to the ability of this model to manage dynamic changes within the workflow and describe its application to a medical scene (triage) and then carry out simulations based on this model. The authors are able to demonstrate the validity of this model through this simulation.
