| Abstract | This paper presents an approach for the formal description of healthcarerelated business processes, in compliance with the Workflow Management Coalition's (WfMC) reference model as specified in [3]. The resulting process definitions can be used by any workflow enactment service that is also compliant with the WfMC reference model. This paper is focused on the build-time functions, which include tools and mechanisms for the definition of healthcare-related business processes. The run-time functions, on the other hand, are responsible for creating and controlling operational instances of the processes, scheduling the various activity steps within the processes, and invoking the appropriate human and IT application resources, in a heterogeneous environment. The build-time components of the WfMC reference model interact with the run-time components by means of the Process Definition Interchange Interface, as defined by the WfMC. As shown in [4], this interface is used to access the contents of a workflow definition pool, which is part of the workflow engine. It provides the ability to list, modify, or delete existing definitions, and to create new ones |
