title: Impact of a modelization of the task allocation problem on the design of a prescription management software for intensive care units.
abstract: After having studied the coordination in Intensive care Units we have proposed a dynamic model for improving coordination in respect of human control over the work. We have performed simulations for analysing the impact of different strategies on coordination and we have found that our task centred coordination model could be efficient to improve the health care actors coordination and the efficiency of care delivery. We have built a first prototype based on this model. This implementation uses Internet technologies.
