Using transition systems and regions to analyze and monitor admission procedures of a hospital

Abstract

This research provides topological discovery process that took place and recorded in the log file history. The event log contains information of patient, date/time of the treatment, medical procedures, responsible staff, and case IDs. The goal of this research to verify the conformity of the desinated process workflow using Mine Transition Systems by comparing it with the actual activities recorded in the log file. By using a generated model (Petri Net), a guideline can be developed and used to improve the overall performance of the medical process. The inconsistency between the anticipated workflow and the extracted one from the log file history were found in this study. The main issue was an extensive delay in waiting time for treatment and for payment (prior to medication dispense). These results and findings can be presented to the people that are in charge and hence be used to solve this issue towards better service performance of the hospital.
