Description
Summary:Inpatient care is seen as a rigorous healthcare environment, as several daily tasks are performed to provide adequate treatment to inpatients and a minor flaw in these tasks may result in irreversible damage to patients. It is therefore required that the information related to the patient is always updated and available to all health professionals. Thus, comes up the motivation of the project described in this paper, which presents an intelligent system to support the practice of inpatient healthcare through a Web platform that allows the monitoring of patients admitted to a health facility. Thus, the developed system culminates in an application where all relevant information is gathered to monitor the different hospitalization episodes, presenting this information in a simplistic and intuitive way and alerting the professionals to the occurrence of events related to medical exams and analysis, surgical procedures, among others. This paper presents the architecture, the requirements and a SWOT analysis of the solution proposed, the main conclusions and a proposed future work.
