Challenges and Benefits
Challenges: Need for integration Complexity
Benefits: Dynamic, Configurable Disease Management as “byproduct” of care, not as
separate activity
![Page 13: Workflow Management Systems for Disease Management Scenarios](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815fe8550346895dceebb2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Challenge: Need for Integration
For Process Management tools to be effective, they need to be integrated with Users Data Patients Context

Challenge: Complexity
Process Management is complex Exception Handling adds complexity – undesirable but
sometimes unavoidable Process Management is not simple, not inexpensive

Benefits: Dynamic, Configurable
In a Workflow Engine, processes are dynamic and configurable Between diseases Between organizations Over Time
Continuous Quality Improvement

Benefits: Disease Management as “byproduct”
Disease Management is a “byproduct” of healthcare delivery – not a separate activity.
DM Processes tightly integrated into the overall workflow DM interventions delivered by the standard healthcare
team – physicians, nurses, and others DM staff as supplementary team members, and escalation
points
