Healthcare processes require continuous support in order to face the increasing demand for optimal quality of care and to provide a sound basis for integrating different sources of medical knowledge. A very important issue to consider in the medical domain is the fact that clinical process activities intertwine with data, and thus, process-oriented information systems play a crucial role in healthcare management. Business-process modeling techniques can successfully be applied in order to represent clinical pathways and guidelines in a standardized way, by giving a more understandable high-level description of evidence-based medical practice.

Abstract
Healthcare processes require continuous support in order to face the increasing demand for optimal quality of care and to provide a sound basis for integrating different sources of medical knowledge. A very important issue to consider in the medical domain is the fact that clinical process activities intertwine with data, and thus, process-oriented information systems play a crucial role in healthcare management. Business-process modeling techniques can successfully be applied in order to represent clinical pathways and guidelines in a standardized way, by giving a more understandable high-level description of evidence-based medical practice.
