In this paper we use accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass sensors on smartphones to solve a location tracking problem common to many emergency departments. An emergency department typically has unique characteristics including not being friendly to be visually surveyed, since the layout consists of many isolated islands and the workstation layout is not standardized. The spaghetti diagram is a tool to help to identify areas where time can be saved by visualizing unnecessary movement of products, staff or patients. We report the development of an automated tool to create spaghetti diagrams of movements of personnel ina non-intrusive way. A preliminary prototype to produce paths showed very encouraging results. We also identify challengesand our approach to meet them.  \nKeywords-Mobile Health, Spaghetti Diagram, Inertia Sensor, Indoor Tracking.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nDelivering high quality, economically-efficient healthcare is rapidly becoming one of the key economic, societal and scientific challenges in the United States as well as globally. Therefore, several federal government agencies recently focused on accelerating the development and use of innovative approaches that would support the much needed transformation of our healthcare system. For example, the need for significant healthcare transformation was recognized by numerous organizations including the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), National Research Council (NRC), Institute of Medicine (IOM), Computing Community Consortium (CCC), and the National Academy of Engineering [1] . To facilitate the transformation, there have been continuous efforts to advance computing research in healthcare, by enabling collaboration among cross-community that includes biomedical informatics, computer science, clinical medicine and public health [1] .  \nImproving the quality and the efficiency of the healthcare system requires new management systems. Many leading healthcare institutions, therefore, follow a management approach called Lean, which is a quality improvement philosophy based on the Toyota Production System that processes to maximize customer value while minimizing the waste. Recent studies [9], [10] show that adoption of lean  \nmanagement helps healthcare organizations to improve their process and outcomes, reduce costs, and increase satisfaction among patients, providers, and staff. One of the fundamental concepts of lean management is to exploit the resources (e.g., lab equipment, medicine, time, money, staff, etc.) efficiently. In this paper, our focus is to identify opportunities and directions, where we can exploit smart devices (i.e. smartphone, smart gadget etc.) to improve Lean – healthcare management.  \nLike other industries, the healthcare industry is experiencing the effects of smartphones. Indeed, healthcare maybe among those industries where the impact has been most profound. One market research firm estimates that 81% of US physicians in 2012 use smartphones [2] . In another study, 85% of medical providers working in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education training programs reported use of smartphones [3] . A recent study on the role of smartphones in medicine [4], shows that the amount of research in the use of smartphones in medicine is rapidly growing and smartphones have a very bright future in the world of medicine, where doctors, engineers, and others alike continue to contribute more ingenuity to this","cbCaimana7p7R35Z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimana7p7R35Z","pdf",1546115,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Lean healthcare management and smartphone-enabled opportunities\n# Background\n## Spaghetti Diagram","[{\"question\":\"What sensors are used by the SmartSpaghetti approach?\",\"answer\":\"The approach uses accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass-related sensors available on smartphones to support location tracking and movement analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is location tracking challenging in emergency departments?\",\"answer\":\"Emergency departments have layouts that are difficult to visually survey, with many isolated areas and non-standardized workstation layouts, making tracking more complex.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper propose to create spaghetti diagrams?\",\"answer\":\"It reports an automated tool that produces spaghetti diagrams of personnel movements using smartphone inertia sensors in a non-intrusive, low-cost manner, supported by an initial prototype.\"}]","SmartSpaghetti: Use of Smart Devices to Solve Health Care Problems | PDF",1792976350,15]
