Care process monitoring is important in healthcare domains to provide precise and detailed analytics on patients, providers, and resources participating in a care process and their status. These analytics are used to keep track of whether the quality of care goals set by healthcare organizations are satisfied and ensure that legislative and organizational guidelines are followed. The complexity of care process monitoring can vary depending on whether the care process takes place in a hospital or out in the community, and it can vary depending on the complexity of the information technology infrastructure that is in place to support the care process. A Care Process Monitoring Application (CPMA) is a software application which collects and integrates data from various sources while a care process is being provided, in order to provide performance reporting of metrics that are used to measure how well the performance goals and guidelines for the care process are being met. In our research, we have studied how CPMAs are built in order to improve the quality of their engineering. The significant challenge in this context is how to engineer a CPMA so that the engineering process is repeatable, produces a CPMA of consistent high quality, and requires less time, less effort and less complexity. This thesis proposes an application framework for care process monitoring that collects and integrates events from event sources, maintains the individual and aggregate states of the care process and populates a metrics data mart to support performance reporting. Our contributions are the following: a state-based application meta-model of care process monitoring, a care process monitoring architectural pattern, and finally, a behavior driven development methodology for CPMAs based on our meta-model and architectural pattern. Our results are validated through three different case studies in which we collaborated with two different health care organizations to build and deploy CPMAs for two different care processes (one hospital-based, the other community-based) in collaboration with healthcare clinicians and researchers.

É preciso conhecer os problemas enfrentados pelo Poder Judiciário para buscar soluções satisfatórias e não paliativos. Esta pesquisa está fundamentada na efetivação do princípio constitucional da duração razoável do processo à luz da satisfação do jurisdicionado, sendo o fundo de garantia das execuções trabalhistas um instrumento capaz de concretizar os direitos sonegados aos trabalhadores na Justiça do trabalho, apresentando possíveis soluções para a morosidade na prestação jurisdicional, garantindo uma tutela justa, útil e adequada. Com o passar do tempo vem aumentando o número de demandas no judiciário e com o advento da Emenda de n 45, que atribuiu novas competências à Justiça do Trabalho, observou-se a dificuldade processual de concretização deste princípio na Justiça do trabalho. Assim, pela falta de institutos capazes de fornecer subsídios que efetivem a prestação jurisdicional com a satisfação do jurisdicionado cria-se com a Emenda Constitucional de n 45 em seu artigo 3 o fundo de garantia das execuções trabalhistas que pretende garantir os créditos sonegados aos empregados pela força de trabalho. Vale destacar que no direito alienígena a discussão sobre este princípio é de suma importância para uma prestação jurisdicional, apesar de já estar bastante avançada tendo até alguns países, como a exemplo da Itália que já colacionaram ao seu ordenamento jurídico uma sanção pelo desrespeito a este princípio. Contudo, o enfoque referente às possíveis soluções fundamenta-se no Fundo de Garantia das Execuções Trabalhistas. Ao longo desta pesquisa, pretende-se explorar a forma qualitativa, visando produzir conhecimentos para aplicação prática dirigida à solução dos problemas. Espera-se com o aprofundamento deste trabalho, garantir e propor à sociedade mecanismos que viabilizem uma prestação jurisdicional adequada, justa, útil e condizente com um tempo razoável, alcançando a satisfação do jurisdicionado. / You need to know the problems faced by the judiciary to seek satisfactory solutions rather than palliative. This research is based on the realization of the constitutional principle of reasonable duration of proceedings in the light of the satisfaction jurisdicionado, having the guarantee fund of labor plays an instrument to realize the rights evaded justice for workers in the work by presenting possible solutions to the delay in adjudication, ensuring a fair tutelage, useful and appropriate. With the passage of time comes to increasing the number of demands in judiciary and with the advent of the Amendment n. 45, which gave the courts new powers of labor, there was the difficulty of procedural justice in the implementation of this principle of work. Thus, the lack of institutions capable of providing subsidies to effect the adjudication with the satisfaction of creating with jurisdiction over the constitutional amendment of 45 in his article 3 of the guarantee fund is intended to ensure that executions labor credits to employees evaded the workforce. Deplores the right to point out that the alien discussion on this principle and of paramount importance to provide a jurisdictional, is already well advanced with even some countries, such as Italy already collated with its legal penalty for the violation of this principle. However, the focus regarding possible solutions is based on the Guarantee Fund executions of Labor. For carrying out this research, we intend to explore a qualitative research aimed at producing knowledge for practical application addressed to solve problems. It is hoped that the deepening of this work, ensuring the company and propose mechanisms that enable an adjudication proper, fair and useful and consistent with a reasonable time, achieving the satisfaction of the courts.

Our interest is just to observe the service channel that will offer the maximum or minimum service time. Wherefore, the service distributions are obtained from the composition of the Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson distribution truncated at zero, used to model the number of service channels, with the general distribution to the maximum and minimum service time. Thus, we obtain new distributions for service time, which are called Maximum-Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson-general, denoted by MAXCOMPG distribution, and Minimum-Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson-general, denoted by MINCOMPG distribution, consequently, we obtain the queue models M/MAXCOMPG/1 and M/MINCOMPG/ 1, respectively. As general distributions, we use the distributions exponential, Weibull and Birnbaum Saunders, To illustrate the proposed queue models, a simulation study is done and also real data are used. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar modelos de filas alternativos ao M/G/l, nos quais as chegadas seguem um processo de Poisson, o número total de usuários no sistema e o número total de canais de atendimento são desconhecidos. Neste caso, observamos apenas o canal de serviço que irá oferecer o máximo ou o mínimo tempo de serviço. Para isto, as distribuições de serviço são obtidas a partir da composição da distribuição Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson truncada no ponto zero, usada para modelar o número de canais de atendimento, com uma distribuição geral para o máximo e o mínimo tempos de serviço. Desta forma, surgem novas distribuições de serviço que são denominadas de Máximo-Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson-geral, denotada por distribuição MAXCOMPG, e Mínimo-Conwav-Maxwell-Poisson-geral, denotada por distribuição MINCOMPG, e, assim, obtemos os modelos de fila M MAXCOMPG 1 e M MINCOMPG 1. Como distribuições gerais usamos as distribuições exponencial, Weibull e Birnbaum Saunders, Para ilustrar os modelos de fila propostos um amplo estudo de simulação é feito e dados reais também são utilizados.

It treats from a decision that generated a lot of criticism as, many workers felt impaired with the new point of Supreme Court. In the begining, will be analysing the concept of presciption in labor law, the influence in interpretation of norms and the definition of protector principle. Then, it will be study the concept of legal nature of FGTS. It will be observed the prescription of the FGTS in the law 8.036/90, the prescription of labor credits in the CF/88(Federal Constitution of Brazil) and the possibility of conflits among constitutional norm about prompt prescription and the principle most favourable norm. The study will be carried out through empirical, bibliographic, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and documentary research. The methodology to be adopted will be critical analysis of legal discourse through which the decision pronounced by the STF is investigated in an attempt to understand the change of a jurisprudential understanding consolidated for years. Finaly, we hope to identify the consequences of the aplicability from the new prescriptional promt could bring to the legal effectiveness about the worker´s rights. / O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal que julgou inconstitucional a norma que prevê a prescrição trintenária para a cobrança judicial dos depósitos não efetuados do FGTS. Trata-se de uma decisão que gerou críticas já que muitos trabalhadores se sentiram prejudicados com o novo posicionamento da Suprema Corte. De início, serão analisados os conceitos de prescrição no direito do trabalho, a influência na interpretação das normas e a definição do princípio protetor. Em seguida, serão estudados o conceito e a natureza jurídica do FGTS. Será observada a prescrição do FGTS na lei 8.036/90, a prescrição dos créditos trabalhistas na CF/88 e o possível conflito existente entre a norma constitucional sobre o prazo prescricional e o princípio da norma mais favorável. O estudo será realizado por meio de pesquisas empírica, bibliográfica, qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e documental. A metodologia a ser adotada será a Análise Crítica do Discurso Jurídico por meio da qual se investiga a decisão proferida pelo STF na tentativa de entender a mudança de um entendimento jurisprudencial consolidado há anos. Como resultado, espera-se identificar as consequências que a aplicabilidade do novo prazo prescricional possa vir a trazer tanto à eficácia da justiça, quanto aos direitos dos trabalhadores.

Firm real time system with Poisson arrival process, iid exponential service times and iid deadlines till the end of service of a job, operated under the First Come First Served (FCFS) scheduling policy is well studied. In this thesis, we present an exact theoretical analysis of a similar (M/M/1 + G queue) system with exact admission control (EAC). We provide an explicit expression for the steady state workload distribution. We use this solution to derive explicit expressions for the loss ratio and the sojourn time distribution. An exact theoretical analysis of the performance of an M/M/1 + G queue with preemptive deadlines till the end of service, operating under the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling policy, appears to be difficult, and only approximate formulas for the loss ratio are available in the literature. We present in this thesis similar approximate formulas for the loss ratio in the present of an exit control mechanism, which discards a job at the epoch of its getting the server if there is no chance of completing it. We refer to this exit control mechanism as the Early job Discarding Technique (EDT). Monte Carlo simulations of performance indicate that the maximum approximation error is reasonably small for a wide range of arrival rates and mean deadlines. Finally, we compare the loss ratios of the First Come First Served and the Earliest Deadline First scheduling policies with or without admission or exit control mechanism, as well as their counterparts with deterministic deadlines. The results include some formal equalities, inequalities and some counter-examples to establish non-existence of an order. A few relations involving loss ratios are posed as conjectures, and simulation results in support of these are reported. These results lead to a complete picture of dominance and non-dominance relations between pairs of scheduling policies, in terms of loss ratios.
