A Business Process Multidimensional Modeling with the Case-Based Reasoning in Breast Radiology

This paper describes a business process multidimensional data modeling in breast radiology with the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach. The Business Process Management (BPM) consists of modeling business processes of the enterprise. Healthcare enterprises rely on information technology solutions (IT). IT environments consist of various application systems such as Hospital Information Systems (HIS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and Imaging Modalities. These systems involve complex processes. The development of systems to manage and automate these processes is important to improve the efficiently of healthcare enterprises. Business Process re-engineering (BPR) and process automation (Workflow Management) are key-factors for the successful operation of digital imaging departments and hospitals. We use the CBR approach to support ‘solving new problems’ by adapting ‘previous successful solutions’ to similar problems to support ‘re-designing new business processes’ by adapting ‘previously successful re-design’ to similar business process.
