Auction aware selection of doctors in E-Healthcare

E-Healthcare system is emerging as one of the most upcoming technologies to provide an efficient and automated healthcare infrastructure. Earlier there had been some works to schedule the internal staffs of a medical unit (may be very large) for working in the operation theater or controlling the outdoor units. However, it is observed that, with the unprecedented growth of the communication media (specially Internet), it may be a common phenomena to hire expert medical staffs (especially doctors) for a critical operation from outside of the medical unit where the operation is taking place. In this paper auction based schemes are proposed for hiring doctors from outside of the medical unit to have the expertise during a critical operation. The schemes are also validated with exhaustive experiments.
