Clinical Process Management: A model-driven & tool-based proposal

In healthcare institutions it is important to define methodologies and management strategies in order to define, maintain and execute Healthcare Processes (HP) in a simple and effective manner. These needs are necessary because this kind of processes involve many people (software engineer, healthcare teams, and doctors, among others) and must also comply with lots of international clinical standards (such as ISO-EN 13606 or ISO/DIS 13940). This paper presents a formal demonstration of our proposal which is based on the Model-Driven paradigm in order to support modeling, deploying and executing HP. Our tool-based proposal allows reducing costs, improving quality and optimizing HP taking into account the Model-Driven paradigm advantages
