sp_hospital — Hospital ward dynamic contacts (2010)

Description

Temporal network of face-to-face proximity contacts among patients and health-care workers in a geriatric unit of a hospital in Lyon, France, measured by the SocioPatterns collaboration with wearable sensors from Monday, 6 December 2010 at 1:00 pm to Friday, 10 December 2010 at 2:00 pm. The study included 46 health-care workers and 29 patients. Nodes are persons, and each edge is a contact between two persons active during a 20-second interval of the data collection, so that a pair of persons is connected by one edge per interval in which they were in contact.

The network has the following properties:

  • (Node) id: the anonymous identifier of the person.
  • (Node) status: the role of the person: NUR (paramedical staff, i.e. nurses and nurses' aides), PAT (patient), MED (medical doctor) or ADM (administrative staff).
  • (Edge) time: the end of the 20-second interval $[t - 20\,\text{s}, t]$ during which the contact was active, in seconds since the beginning of the data collection.
