From: An ontology-based nurse call management system (oNCS) with probabilistic priority assessment
oNCS algorithm to find the correct staff member to handle a call. This figure shows the flow chart of the oNCS algorithm, which finds a correct staff member to handle a call. It first determines which kind of calls has been made. Normal, sanitary, service and (sanitary) assistance calls employ the same basic algorithm which is visualized in Figure 7 (Flow A). The difference is that for normal, sanitary and (sanitary) assistance calls only nurses can be called. For service calls caretakers can also be called. It is also made sure that the nurse that made the (sanitary) assistance call, cannot be called to answer this call. Urgency, medical and technical calls each have their own algorithm, which is visualized in this figure.
