Abstract

An effective approach for healthcare process management is the key to delivery of high-quality services in healthcare. An agent-based and process-oriented system is presented in this study to facilitate dynamic and interactive processes in healthcare environment. The system is developed in three layers: the agent layer for healthcare process management, the database layer for maintenance of medical records and knowledge, and the interface layer for human-computer interaction. The treatment of primary open angle glaucoma is used as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of approach.
