Healthbase -> workflow -> monographs

Workflow in Healthcare - Monographs.

Workflow in healthcare is in its infancy, and faces many obstacles about which much needs to be discussed.
Healthbase recommends Tom Beale's excellent (EHR-centric) Health Information Standards Manifesto as background reading for clarifying issues related to designing information systems for healthcare, despite it having been published back in 2000.

Here are a number of monographs touching on specific issues confronting Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) in the health domain:-

Subject	Author	Date
Workflow and the HL7 RIM	Eric Browne	May, 2002
Workflow Modelling for Coordinated Inter-Health-Provider Care Plans	Eric Browne	PhD thesis, 2005

Not specifically related to workflow, but may be of interest to the broader health informatics community:-
