Design of Modelling Tool for Electronic Clinical Pathway based on Workflow and Standardised Terminologies
Abstract: It is very important to transform paper-based clinical pathways (CPs) into computer-readable format in order to integrate CPs into hospital information system (HIS). Modelling approaches of CPs include workflow management techniques, ontology and Petri net. Workflow-based modelling has a potential for representing sequenced medical activities in CPs, however previous approaches showed inadequate representation of medical content of CPs. Petri net and ontology-based modelling approaches have been widely used in modelling …
