Abstract

Process Mining is a technique looking into the analysis and mining of existing process flow. On the other hand, Machine Learning is a data science field and a sub-branch of Artificial Intelligence with the main purpose of replicating human behavior through algorithms. The separate application of Process Mining and Machine Learning for healthcare purposes has been widely explored with a various number of published works discussing their use. However, the simultaneous application of Process Mining and Machine Learning algorithms is still a growing field with ongoing studies on its application. This paper proposes a feasible framework where Process Mining and Machine Learning can be used in combination within the healthcare environment.
