Hello everyone interested in workflow. I just came across work by the
Medical Informatics Laboratory of the University of Pavia (Italy)
http://aim.unipv.it/ on workflow and careflow.
There are some papers at
http://medea.unipv.it:9292/infsis_pl/plsql/Publications.ShowList including
two that sound very interesting:
* G. Lanzola,C. Fassino,S. Quaglini,L. Dazzi,S. Tazzi,M. Stefanelli:
An agent-based architecture supporting collaborative work within
health care organizations
Proc. of NNESMED98 ,E. C. Ifeachor, A. Sperduti and A. Starita eds.
,pag. 3-11, (September 1998).
* M. Stefanelli,L. Dazzi,C. Fassino,G. Lanzola,S. Quaglini:
Building patient workflow mamagement systems by integrating medical
and organizational knowledge
Invited lecture Proc.MEDINFO 98 ,B. Cesnik, A.T. McCray and J-R.
Scherrer eds. ,pag. 28-32,Seoul
(Korea), (1998).
They also have a system called PatMan (Patient Workflow Management
System). There does not seem to be too much information out there though
http://aim.unipv.it/projects/patman/. But as part of my Spirit work, I may
check out more closely what they have and whether they would consider going
open source...
cheers
