Background: Quality indicators (QI) are a common method to ensure quality in healthcare. This paper is based on the so-called QI-KA project, which defined cross-sector QI for the Austrian healthcare system. However, to allow for automated conformance checking, the QI must be modelled in a formal way. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to gather requirements on modelling languages and tools in healthcare, create models for one of the QI-KA project's QI and finally evaluate them. Methods: The QI-2 is modelled in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) together with the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) to showcase and evaluate their application and suitability. Results: The generated models show that BPMN and DMN are mostly appropriate for this use case and serve as a basis for automated conformance checking. Conclusion: We successfully showed that BPMN and DMN can be used to model cross-sector QI in a formal way to prepare for conformance checking. The field of application can be extended to other medical areas. To further improve quality in healthcare, outcomes from models and conformance-checking should be discussed in interdisciplinary teams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
