Process Mining in Healthcare: Analysis and Modeling of Processes in the Emergency Area

Abstract

Decision making requires a high performance in strategic processes. The process mining is responsible for generating knowledge and discover processes from event logs that are extracted from information systems, for finding errors, inconsistencies and vulnerabilities. To improve its performance, organizations are looking for a better process management approach, which as a first step requires precise modeling of these. In the health sector, an area largely unexplored by researchers in the field, such modeling is even more critical given the nature of this kind of organization. Obtaining these processes is not trivial in many cases, but it is a very complex task. This article aims to generate process models through the ProM tool for obtaining detailed, realistic and easily analyzable views, from records stored in information systems for health processes, particularly in a hospital (which are rich in information and generally tend to be overlooked).

The Business Process Model and Notation Used for the Representation of Alzheimer’s Disease Patients Care Process

“…The goal of process mining is to analyze the complex temporal relationships between activities and resources involved in processes [20]. García et al [21] used process mining for analysis and modeled processes in the Emergency area. Authors in [22] proposed a methodology for identifying and mapping patient flows through the extraction process.…”

“…Hoy en día, la minería de procesos (Yzquierdo, 2013;Orellana, et al, 2015) se utiliza para hacer una descripción formal de los procesos a través de mecanismos que descubren, monitorean y sugieren mejoras en los procesos, por ejemplo, análisis de la atención médica en los hospitales, análisis del flujo de producción de las empresas, análisis de servicios de entrega, verificación de cumplimiento de normas y reglas de negocio, identificación de personas involucradas en los procesos y cómo estas se relacionan, entre otros.…”

“…A aplicação da MP apresenta potencial para suportar o planejamento e a tomada de decisões em uma variedade de cenários (Garcia;Ramirez;Larrea, 2015). A técnica possibilita a identificação do comportamento real de pessoas, máquinas e organizações, situação que é particularmente relevante na área da saúde Van Der Aalst;Vanwersch, 2015).…”
