Environmental management in the hospital life cycle is vital in preventing nosocomial infection and includes many infection control procedures. In certain urgent situations, a hospital must be completed quickly, and work process approval and supervision must therefore be accelerated. Thus, many works cannot be checked in detail. This results in a lack of work liability control and increases the difficulty of ensuring the fulfillment of key infection prevention measures. This study investigates how blockchain technology can transform the work quality inspection workflow to assist in nosocomial infection control under a fast delivery requirement. A blockchain-based life-cycle environmental management framework is proposed to track the fulfillment of crucial infection control measures in the design, construction, and operation stages of hospitals. The proposed framework allows for work quality checking after the work is completed, when some work cannot be checked on time. Illustrative use cases are selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the developed solution. This study provides new insights into applying blockchain technology to address the challenge of environmental management brought by rapid delivery requirements.展开更多

Very often, eCRM is interfaced with other information systems to form a seamless integration and interchange of information both inside and outside an organization--a work flow management system. This integration of business partners, suppliers, and customers is essential in this global competitive market environment. An effective infrastructure and hence an appropriate framework are required to provide the information exchange and data analysis between eCRM and work flow management. This paper proposes a functional framework of eCRM based on customer value to realize the win-win strategy for both the companies and their customers. Moreover, a workflow management system also forms an integral part of this total solution to facilitate the implementation of a supply chain or extended enterprise.展开更多
