Workflow in health care is an important term for today's physicians. The workflow describes the full process of how the office and patient work with each other. From the moment the patient calls to set up an exam, to the billing staff working on the claims, this is all inclusive in a true workflow. Office administrators are tasked with improving the workflow and making it more economical and time efficient. Workflow in recent years has started to conjure an additional meaning - how an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) operates.
Workflow management technology is not used in health care as often as in other domains. However workflow engines can be very useful to manage processes. Workflow software can be also used as a clinical guideline execution engine.
