Abstract:
In this paper, we propose the use of an agent-based architecture to enhance workflow system capacity to support interprofessional, patient-centred palliative care delivery. This paper outlines the concept of palliative care and describes how agents can be used to assist care providers to address the needs of the patient and family. Our architecture is illustrated in a diagram and the agents are described in terms of the services they provide, and the dependencies among them. The dependencies determine the information flow, which facilitates the communication and collaboration among the patient and care providers.
