BPM technologies for managing dynamic healthcare processes flexibly

초록

Healthcare processes in hospitals are very complex and difficult to define precisely in advance. Furthermore, a detailed process for the same disease can be variable or dynamically determined according to the intermediate care results or characteristics of a patient. In this paper, we present a dynamic business process management system for variable healthcare processes. At first, a business process modeler based on business process change patterns is presented. An actual runtime process for a patient can be determined and designed dynamically considering intermediate results of the clinical care process. Also, an innovative runtime process execution mechanism for implementing the care process is described. The proposed dynamic BPM (Business Process Management) system can provide effective and flexible healthcare services to patients considering current situations at runtime. © 2017 ICIC International.
