Abstract
Patient transportation is one of the daily and frequent jobs in the hospital, however, it requires much strain and time of nurses. We carried out continuous-observation time and motion study (TMS) on the second time scale with recording by the other recorder in four wards of a cardiovascular disease hospital. Based on the recorded data, we carried out time processes modeling (TPM), that visualize the each transportation process sketchy and we could investigate the workflows of transportation as event instance.
