Description

In this emergent research forum (ERF) paper, we report on a project from a state-funded hospital located in one of Europe’s microstates. The hospital is currently planning a new building site and, in addition, plans to adopt new information technologies (IT) to improve patient safety and enrich the patient journey. However, the hospital lacks a systematic overview of its processes and their interrelationships as a basis for further BPM initiatives and, most importantly, improving the patient experience from admission to discharge and beyond. By applying a design science research (DSR) approach, we develop the first draft of a process architecture by considering a patient’s journey. We discuss this framework and present the next steps as part of our future research.
