FHIR2BPMN: Delivering Actionable Knowledge by Transforming Between Clinical Pathways and Executable Models

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 16:292:9-14. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220311.

Abstract

Healthcare processes have many particularities captured and described within standards for medical information exchange such as HL7 FHIR. BPMN is a widely used standard to create readily understandable processes models. We show an approach to integrate both these standards via an automated transformation mechanism. This will allow us to use the various tools available for BPMN to visualize and automate processes in the healthcare domain. In the future we plan to extend this approach to enable mining and analyzing executed processes.

Keywords: Clinical Guidelines; HL7 FHIR; Model Transformation.
