Results of STSM Cornils & Zhou STSM Zou Results of comparison BPMN is the modelling notation which is clearer and more understandable to pathologists. EPC is harder for pathologists to read and understand. It is probably because EPC is not as popular as BPMN and UML AD, so pathologists are not so familiar with the concept of event-driven process. The current two pathology processes – Frozen Study and Formalin Fixed Specimen Study – are not complete in some aspects. Further work will be needed to modify the processes according to feedbacks we have gotten from the pathologists. Thomas Schrader (Brandenburg) WG 01: Business modeling December 26, 2009 26 / 41

Summary Summary Summary Now Status quo A general business process in pathology is desribed. The process model has a close relationship to the standards (DICOM, HL7). BPMN is choosen as the main modeling language Future What should be done? Transformation from EPC to BPMN Convergence to unified process description terms related to SNOMED Thomas Schrader (Brandenburg) WG 01: Business modeling December 26, 2009 36 / 41
