Abstract

Computerizing the delivery of prescription medication, particularly in hospitals, has had many recent success stories. While the safeguards that computers can provide in preventing the incorrect administration of medications cannot be denied, little attention has been paid to the requirements engineering process in workflow automation. This paper discusses some of the techniques of workflow modeling that hold promise for medical informatics. This paper demonstrates that clinical workflows can be modeled using existing modeling tools.
