Abstract

Motivation -- This paper reviews the process of mapping and modeling of the perioperative process to form the basis for a workflow-based assistance system as part of the PERIKLES project.

Research approach -- The goal is to provide an assistance system, which discharges the OP-coordinator. The system shall simplify common tasks (for example scheduling, coordinating, communication and tracking) which occur in the perioperative process.

Originality/Value -- Because the perioperative process consists of many complex steps, we described the workflows and tasks of every stakeholder very detailed as HOPS processes. These processes formed the basis for the inclusion of the stakeholders into the modeling process. After revising, these processes were transformed into a YAWL net.

Take away message -- The inclusion of domain experts into the modeling process can contribute to the quality of the models by eliminating ambiguities, inaccuracies, or errors at a very early stage of the development process. This will also improve the acceptance of the results.
