Abstract

A (home) care plan defines the health cares or supportive cares delivered by health care professionals in patients’ homes. Such a care plan is usually constructed through a complex process involving a comprehensive assessment of patient’s needs as well as its social and physical environment. Managing home care plans is challenging because care plans are inherently non-structured processes which require complex interdisciplinary cooperation. This paper addresses the problems underlying the design and management of home care plans. First, we present a DSL (Domain Specific Language) based approach tailored to express home care plans using high level and user-oriented abstractions. Then, we describe and discuss preliminary results regarding formalization of the proposed DSL abstractions using timed automata in order to provide basic services to support analysis, verification, enactment and management of home care plans.
