Title
Pervasive Business Intelligence: A New Trend in Critical Healthcare.
Abstract
In the field of intensive medicine, presentation of medical information is identified as a major concern for the health professionals, since it can be a great aid when it is necessary to make decisions, of varying gravity, for the patient's state. The way in which this information is presented, and especially when it is presented, may make it difficult for the intensivists within intense healthcare units to understand a patient's state in a timely fashion. Should there be a need to cross various types of clinical data from various sources, the situation worsens considerably. To support the health professional's decision-making process, the Pervasive Business Intelligence (PBI) Systems are a forthcoming field. Based on this principle, the current study approaches the way to present information about the patients, after they are received in a BI system, making them available at any place and at any time for the intensivists that may need it for the decision-making. The patient's history will, therefore, be available, allowing examination of the vital signs data, what medicine that they might need, health checks performed, among others. Then, it is of vital importance, to make these conclusions available to the health professionals every time they might need, so as to aid them in the decision-making. This study aims to make a stance by approaching the theme of PBI in Critical Healthcare. The main objective is to understand the underlying concepts and the assets of BI solutions with Pervasive characteristics. Perhaps consider it a sort of guide or a path to follow for those who wish to insert Pervasive into Business Intelligence in Healthcare area.
