title: Health informatics-enabled workflow redesign and evaluation.
abstract: Although health information technologies frequently serve as critical workflow components, we currently lack validated methods for identifying how heath informatics can support workflow redesign and for evaluating redesign results. In this study, we describe how a previously developed business process redesign framework was adapted for health informatics-enabled workflow redesign and evaluation. We then demonstrate our methods using an emergency medicine case study.
