- ItemClinical Guidelines: A Crossroad of Many Research Areas. Challenges and Opportunities in Process Mining for Healthcare(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2019) Gatta, Roberto; Vallati, Mauro; Fernandez Llatas, Carlos; Martinez Millana, Antonio; Orini, Stefania; Sacchi, Lucia; Lenkowicz, Jacopo; Marcos, Mar; Munoz Gama, Jorge; Cuendet, Michel; de Bari, Berardino; Marco Ruiz, Luis; Stefanini, Alessandro; Castellano, Maurizio; DiFrancescomarino, C; Dijkman, R; Zdun, UClinical Guidelines, medical protocols, and other healthcare indications, cover a significant slice of physicians daily routine, as they are used to support clinical choices also with relevant legal implications. On the one hand, informatics have proved to be a valuable mean for providing formalisms, methods, and approaches to extend clinical guidelines for better supporting the work performed in the healthcare domain. On the other hand, due to the different perspectives that can be considered for addressing similar problems, it lead to an undeniable fragmentation of the field. It may be argued that such fragmentation did not help to propose a practical, accepted, and extensively adopted solutions to assist physicians. As in Process Mining as a general field, Process Mining for Healthcare inherits the requirement of Conformance Checking. Conformance Checking aims to measure the adherence of a particular (discovered or known) process with a given set of data, or vice-versa. Due to the intuitive similarities in terms of challenges and problems to be faced between conformance checking and clinical guidelines, one may be tempted to expect that the fragmentation issue will naturally arise also in the conformance checking field. This position paper is a first step on the direction to embrace experience, lessons learnt, paradigms, and formalisms globally derived from the clinical guidelines challenge. We argue that such new focus, joint with the even growing notoriety and interest in PM4HC, might allow more physicians to make the big jump from user to protagonist becoming more motivated and proactive in building a strong multidisciplinary community.
- ItemUnderstanding Undesired Procedural Behavior in Surgical Training: The Instructor Perspective(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2019) Galvez, Victor; Meneses, Cesar; Fagalde, Gonzalo; Munoz Gama, Jorge; Sepulveda, Marcos; Fuentes, Ricardo; de la Fuente, Rene; DiFrancescomarino, C; Dijkman, R; Zdun, UIn recent years, a new approach to incorporate the process perspective in the surgical procedural training through Process Mining has been proposed. In this approach, training executions are recorded, to later generate end-to-end process models for the students, describing their execution. Although those end-to-end models are useful for the students, they do not fully capture the needs of the instructors of the training programs. This article proposes a taxonomy of activities for surgical process models, analyzes the specific questions instructors have about the student execution and their undesired procedural behavior, and proposes the Procedural Behavior Instrument, an instrument to answer them in an easy-to-interpret way. A real case was used to test the approach, and a preliminary validity was developed by a medical expert.
