Abstract

This paper presents an approach for automatically generating Smart Checklists---context-dependent, dynamically updated views of on-going medical processes based on current activities and previously validated process models of best practices. This approach addresses not only nominal scenarios but includes guidance when exceptional situations arise. The framework for creating these checklists is described, along with an example and discussion of issues.
