Abstract

A process is a set of atomic work units, performed by different agents and coordinated to achieve a common goal. Processes include some decision activities, which deserve proper modeling, too. The most widespread notations for process modeling and decision modelings are Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and Decision Model and Notation (DMN). We report here about an experiment in healthcare, exploiting both BPMN and DMN in a coupled and integrated manner. As application domain, we select the guidelines of a pediatric surgery process in a mid-size hospital. One of the most critical issues we encountered and discuss in the paper refers to information and data exchange between the two models.
