Abstract

It is the base of a successive cardiac emergency (CE) treatment to architect a rapid cardiac emergency information transfer process with high efficiency and high quality. Aiming at the shortage of quantitative method to diagnose the process of CE, a hybrid method was presented, in which time Petri nets (TPN) was used to model the process of CE and ABC-Markov process was adopted to diagnose quantitatively. As a result, the bottlenecks of the efficiency of information transfer of CE were found. And on this base, the bottlenecks were optimized based on the theory of BPR. As a result, the time of CE treatment was shortened and the success rate was raised.
