Abstract

Recent changes in health care have focused attention on new tools for planning and managing clinical processes. Clinical process employ a concept long used in other industries: the explicit design and documentation of a process. However, the knowledge driven perspective is seldom used when modeling or redesigning a process. Using formal concept analysis, we propose a knowledge management perspective to provide a method for modeling and designing a new multidisciplinary clinical process, in which different medical specialist coordinate the treatment of specific groups of patients and improve the medical quality.
