Abstract

Workflow analysis identifies areas for improvement, such as redundant tasks or processes, bottlenecks, lack of efficiency or conformity with best practice. There are limited resources in healthcare workflow analysis modelling and analysis. In this paper, we describe the resources developed for teaching clinical workflow analysis and redesign. The workflow modeling and process mining tools could be helpful for the instructors who teach clinical workflow. The tools also supplement the resources for health information technology educators.
