This paper presents a case study on how to apply formal modeling and verification in the context of quality improvement in medical healthcare. The aim is to verify quality requirements of medical guidelines and clinical treatment protocols that are used to standardize patient care both for general practitioners and hospitals. This research is supported by the European Commission's IST program and brings together experts from computer science, artificial intelligence in medicine, hospitals, and the Dutch Institute for Healthcare Improvement (CBO). We present the process of formal modeling and verification of guidelines using the modeling language Asbru, temporal logic for expressing the quality requirements, and model checking for proof and error detection. The approach is illustrated with a case study on a guideline from the American Association for Pediatrics on “Jaundice in healthy Newborns”.
