We are collaborating, for some time now, with a research group with expertise in clinical processes, mostly related to clinical practice guidelines (but not restricted to them). They have worked with specific-purpose guideline languages (Asbru and PROforma) and, more recently, with languages from the BPM (business process management) field. Guideline languages can be seen as adaptive workflow systems, because processes are non deterministic, and usually do not consider multiple execution agents. In the context of guideline languages, we have a joint work where we combine the PROforma language with openEHR archetypes (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-22218-4_35 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2013.05.004). In the context of BPM/workflows, the group has analysed the suitability of the so-called workflow control patterns for the representation of guideline processes (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12911-016-0253-z). On the other hand, they have used the BPMN language (concretely, BPMN 2.0) as a tool for the specification of clinical guidelines, specification which is then (semi)automatically transformed to a guideline language (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-13281-5_9). They have also used BPMN for the specification of guidelines of a certain size (e.g. a significant part of the NCCN prostate cancer guideline).
