Workshop on Flexible Workflows in Distributed Systems (WiVS 2011) Markus Bandt, Robert Kühn, Sebastian Schick, Holger Meyer
German acronym for “Unterstützung perioperativer klinischer
Prozesse durch kooperierende flexible Workflows und AutoID-Sensorsysteme”

Support of perioperative clinical processes by cooperating
flexible workflows and auto ID sensor systems
workflow-based assistance system to support
the operating room management in a hospital
simplify common tasks
Scheduling Coordinating Communication Tracking (process visualisation, statistical analysis)
4
perioperative process in a hospital includes all clinical
workflows from admission of the patient on the ward, about the surgery, until the patient can leave hospital
Core process at the day of surgical treatment

Why is flexibility so important in the health care sector?
Re-scheduling of a single task
(e.g. change of diagnosis / method)
Predictable emergency situations
(e.g. emergency treatment, transplantation treatment)
Unpredictable situations
(demand of additional or sudden lack of ressources, deterioration of patients conditions, disaster situations)
etc.
14
What kind of (flexible) activities are prevalent here?
Parallel activities Partially ordered activities Optional activities Alternative activities Synchronisation of activities Cancellation of activities
15
The patterns in the table refer to the definitions of the Workflow Patterns Initiative ( http://www.workflowpatterns.com/ ).
16
YAWL asWfMS of choice
Open Source Framework with formal foundation Well documented Extendable through WS-Interface Good, productive contact with developers

YAWL as tracking system
Some flexibility concepts limited
Stability and maintenance costs vs. Flexibilty Successful evaluation with stakeholders To-do:
Evaluation of combining different WfMS to gather advantages
(incl. cost benefit analysis)
Handling unpredictable exceptions / ad-hoc processing
