Coordination of Care Topologies

 

There will never be a one size fits all implementation of care coordination topologies

Some coordination of care will be intra-xxxx, some will be across-xxxx

 

building on network topologies we can explore the

There advantages and disadvantages to all of them

 

The one that is of interest imho to attempt to leverage is Ring topology

 

simple definiiton

 

In ring topology each device is connected with the two devices on either side of it. There are two dedicated point to point links a device has with the devices on the either side of it. This structure forms a ring thus it is known as ring topology. If a device wants to send data to another device then it sends the data in one direction, each device in ring topology has a repeater, if the received data is intended for other device then repeater forwards this data until the intended device receives it.

 

taking this one further - token ring to be exact

 

in this case there is a “token” which is passed among the participants

The person with the token is responsible for the patient for the time that they “keep” the token
