Adaptable Personalized Care Planning via a Semantic Web Framework

This paper presents a longitudinal patient care planning system that automatically and pro-actively generates adaptive patient-specific healthcare plans. The objective is to assist medical practitioners to determine the best discourse of clinical care based on (a) the patient’s current medical profile, (b) latest medical knowledge (c) institution-specific clinical pathways, and (d) personalized healthcare educational programs. We present a novel semantic web framework that allows for the synthesis of heterogeneous operational and medical information and knowledge resources, and renders the technical basis for a services-oriented architecture to generate and orchestrate patient-specific healthcare plans.
