A concept analysis of phenomenon workflow.
Workflow is widely used in system design, process re-engineering and information science and has recently been receiving much attention in health care. However, the meaning of workflow has been defined very implicitly for health care settings. The objective of this study is to explore the meaning of workflow by using a structural concept analysis method. Our analysis showed that the definitions emphasize attributes, content and objectives of workflow.
