Healthcare use of workflow engine technology with emphasis on data analysis and decision support
1. Describe the abstract notion of a workflow engine and workflow technology in general
2. Understand the relationship of flowcharts (common in medical guidelines) to executable models of processes used by workflow engines
3. Understand current use of workflow engines in healthcare in production environment and in research context (phenotype modeling, data analysis, clinical decision support, process mining and discovery)
Includes description of some of my research projects
4. List the evidence for benefits and challenges of using workflow engines in healthcare

Vojtech Huser, MD, PhD Morgridge: Project proposal NOTICE: we can also defin a process where only IT tools play a role. (no humans) bad news: now we became a wheel in an big machine (workers) good news: now we won’t have to remember the order and maintain the record of in which order we run what applications. Executable visio. (managers)
Vojtech Huser, MD, PhD Morgridge: Project proposal system only participants mode retrospective mode real time mode (waiting application for next event) (instead of read next event)
Vojtech Huser, MD, PhD Morgridge: Project proposal e.g., enrolling every woman with endometriosis who was treated with drug X and it did not work There is adverse event using treatment C – additional info must be collected – (triggered by treatment or something else – other ilness (infection))
Vojtech Huser, MD, PhD Morgridge: Project proposal Linear regression (LR) was used to determine whether score difference could be predicted by any of the participant characteristics such as gender, age, SQL experience, or SQL experience source. No LR model could predict the score difference (adjusted R-squared < 0.1) and none of the factors were statistically significant. A two-sample t-test showed no statistical difference in test score differences between the group which started with SQL approach versus the group which started with RG approach. TRANSITION: In a way the quantitative part served as a preparation for the later qualitative questionnaire part Giving the users an active experience with both compared technology – do you want to be facing flowcharts or SQL code There was a suggestion to conduct just the qualitative part, Since there are some design limitations of the task-based quantitative study – which, in fact, do not play such role in the qualitative study. So in a way I consider the qualitative study of higher importance
