Abstract

This article presents a survey on modeling clinical context, seeking to introduce it in the architecture ClinicSpace. From the identification of some basic elements of context, including the patient, device and environmental resources, was created to describe this ontological domain to be associated with clinical tasks modeled by the physician. To associate context with tasks in the ClinicSpace architecture, we implemented the interface for editing tasks and context. A case of using this interface is presented to illustrate the use of contextual elements identified, thus realizing the proof of concepts. Finally related work is presented and conclusions.
