Building patient workflow management systems by integrating medical and organizational knowledge.
Patient management is a distributed activity involving general practitioners, clinicians, analysts, nurses, etc. Thus an integrated Patient Workflow Management System (WfMS), based on a detailed model of both the organizational and medical knowledge, could heavily improve Health Care System's performance in terms of collaborative work and resource utilization. A set of tools was developed to improve 1) acquisition of medical knowledge represented through clinical practice Guideline, and 2) acquisition of organizational knowledge describing the work process.
