Abstract

Intelligent tools and collaborative systems can be used in healthcare contexts to support clinical decision making. Such an approach is concerned with identifying the way in which information is gathered and decisions are made along specific care pathways. This study develops a real-time collaborative system using an intelligent risk detection model (IRD) to improve decision efficiency in the clinical case of patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty. The benefits of adopting this improved clinical decision-making solution include increasing awareness, supporting communication, improving the decision making process for patients and caregivers while also improving information sharing between surgeons as key collaborative parties in the research case. This in turn leads to higher levels of patient and clinical satisfaction and better clinical outcomes.
