Abstract
In the objective of building care team guidelines from field observations, this paper introduces a representation method for describing the medical collaborative activities during an ICU patient management. An event-centered representation of medical activities is built during a 3-step procedure, successively involving an event-centered observation phase, an action extraction and coding phase, and an event and collaborative representation phase. This method has been used for analyzing the management of 24 cases of neurological and multiple traumas. We have represented the different actions of the medical team members (clinicians, nurses and outside medical consultants), underlining collaborative information management and the strong interaction between information management and medical actions. This method also highlights the difficulty of cases management linked to diagnosis severity, complexity of the situation and time constraints.
