A Context-Aware Framework for Healthcare Governance Decision-Making Systems

Abstract: This work proposes a governance decision-making support model for public health care systems. It encompasses and integrates the family homes in a new intelligent Health Care Information System. In order to support end-user interaction with this system, the proposed model is built on the GINGA middleware developed for the Brazilian Digital TV, whose full access will be country-wide in 2015. Based on five intelligence management domains, namely knowledge, normative, clinical-epidemiological, administrative, and shared, the model relies on an Optical-WiMAX communication infrastructure (Brazilian Digital Belt), which will reach 82% of urban population of the Ceará State in Brazil. In additional, we present a context-aware decision-making support framework, which offers context-aware services that can be reused for implementing the proposed conceptual model.
