Abstract

The increasing focus on increased quality and efficiency presents a paradox with which the healthcare enterprise must cope. Information technologies provide opportunities for improved quality and efficiency, standardization, management and distributed application of healthcare services, but the proper insertion of these technologies presents a new set of problems. The computerized medical record has been proposed as a vehicle for standardization and management of the healthcare enterprise. It is the view of the authors that a process modeling formalism could provide a suitable framework for such a medical record and, in addition, enable communications and possibly re-use of healthcare processes among healthcare facilities. Process modeling and the requirements for a standard process representation formalism are discussed. The ways in which such a formalism can be used as a template for standardization and management are discussed. The results of ongoing research activities to develop and refine an appropriate formalism are also presented.

流程模型作为医疗保健标准化和管理的模板

对提高质量和效率的日益关注提出了一个医疗保健企业必须应对的悖论。信息技术为提高医疗保健服务的质量和效率、标准化、管理和分布式应用提供了机会，但是适当地插入这些技术会带来一系列新的问题。计算机病历已被提出作为医疗保健企业标准化和管理的工具。作者认为，流程建模形式化可以为这样的医疗记录提供合适的框架，此外，还可以在医疗机构之间实现通信和可能的医疗流程重用。讨论了过程建模和对标准过程表示形式的要求。讨论了将这种形式主义用作标准化和管理模板的方法。正在进行的研究活动的结果，以发展和完善一个适当的形式主义也提出。
