Digitization is advancing rapidly in many prevalently analogue domains such as healthcare. For the latter domain, the synergies with modern information technologies (IT) have become an integral part regarding communication and collaboration. For this reason, a comprehensible language is of importance in order to allow a frictionless exchange of information between domain experts. The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 represents a promising notation that may be applied as lingua franca. Although the BPMN 2.0 is widespread applied by experts in business and industry, little experience exists how BPMN 2.0 is adopted in healthcare. In order to assess how BPMN 2.0 is deployed in healthcare, we conducted a preliminary eye tracking study, in which n = 16 professionals from healthcare comprehended a particular BPMN 2.0 process model. The results indicate that BPMN 2.0 might be a candidate for a lingua franca to foster the comprehensible exchange of information as well as collaboration between healthcare and IT.

Research with a special focus on the historical dental surgical instruments of the Juliusspital in Würzburg does not yet exist. This is a desideratum, as the objects preserved in the Historical Collections of the University of Würzburg can contribute to a deeper understanding of the professionalisation of dentistry in the 19 th century. Only their analysis, together with that of the written sources, provides a complete picture of this process. The aim of this research project is to investigate the professionalisation and academisation of dentistry, especially dental surgery, in Würzburg and Lower Franconia in the 19 th century using the historical dental surgical instru ments of the Juliusspital as a material source for medical history.
