Medical protocols are becoming an important part of efforts to improve the efficiency of medical work. In many industries, simulations based on an information-processing framework have provided insight into design of both organization and work processes. Medical care processes however, are often less routine and are modeled at a finer grain of analysis than many industrial processes. Before medical protocols can be simulated using an information-processing framework, additional extensions to this theoretic framework must be made. We describe the Virtual Design Team (VDT), a simulation tool used to model routine project organizations which is based on an information-processing paradigm. We then describe extensions made to the information-processing view of exceptions found in VDT, which we derived from a review of medical protocols and the records of patients who received care using these protocols. We believe these extensions will permit parsimonious representation and simulation of the contingent and nonroutine processes found in medical protocols and organizations. |
