Abstract:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has become a major and critical cause of death among the elderly with a history of acute pulmonary exacerbation. The aim of this research is twofold, on the one hand to create a conceptual and computational model of the evolution of COPD patients in treatment at the Emergency Department (ED) and, on the other hand, to model the process of evaluation, diagnosis and intervention, made by the ED nurses and doctors responsible for the treatment of COPD patients. The base of simulation we propose to use is the Probabilistic Finite-State Machines method, which applies the training method for the evolution of COPD patients. This method is in front of patient as an actions/treatment applied by healthcare personnel. In addition, the Delphi method applies expert method reasoning for the decision making process carried out by healthcare staff, in order to decide the treatment to be applied to the COPD patients
