Hospitals are catching up to the business world in the introduction of technology systems that support professional practice and workflow. The field of case management is highly complex and interrelates with diverse groups in diverse locations. The last few years have seen the introduction of Workflow Technology Tools, which can improve the quality and efficiency of discharge planning by the case manager. Despite the availability of these wonderful new programs, many case managers are hesitant to adopt the new technology and workflow. For a myriad of reasons, a computer-based workflow system can seem like a brick wall. This article discusses, from a practitioner's point of view, how professionals can gain confidence and skill to get around the brick wall and join the future.

This chapter is concerned with workflow, its systems, its models, its problems and promises. Workflow management systems assist in the specification, modeling, and enactment of structured work processeswithin organizations. These systems are a special type of collaboration technology which we describe as “organizationally aware groupware”. Since the turn of the decade, over 200 new workflow products have been introduced into the world market. This chapter motivates and defines the concepts of workflow. Examples are presented from existing products and prototypes. Finally, we explore some of the current inhibitors and research issues in this fast growing domain.

There are two faces of workflow in R/3. There is once the business oriented workflow design as it is taught in universities. This is implemented by the SAP Business Workflow™. However, the workflow is also a tool to link transactions easily. It can be used to define execution chains of transactions or to trigger user actions without the need to modify the SAP standard code. This does not require to laboriously customize the HR related workflow settings.

The relationship is examined between Business Process Reengineering (BPR), a significant new management trend across all industries, and Workflow Technology a new and rapidly expanding sector of the software market. Since Workflow is a market driven technology, in order to make a meaningful analysis, we start by presenting the current state of the art in workflow technology, as uncovered by our work within the Workflow Management Coalition. Some aspects of workflow are found to be well suited to support BPR, as long as the process being supported meets one of three criteria. Yet other aspects result in serious drawbacks that limit the benefit gained. Some conclusions are made about how workflow technology will have to evolve in order to more fully support the needs of BPR.

As libraries build their collections of electronic resources, workflow issues must be addressed. The unique nature of electronic resource processes, from setting up trials and ordering to providing and maintaining access, will often lead libraries to rethink some of their traditional workflows and job responsibilities. Presented here are two possible approaches to assigning electronic resource-related duties to library personnel in order to effectively manage electronic resource workflows. One example comes from a smaller academic library with limited staffing and the other from a slightly larger academic library with more specialization among employees.

This report is a term paper in a Ph.D.-course on "Organization Theory, Organization Change and Information Technology" at NTH that has been performed as a guided self-study. My supervisor has been Reidar Gjersvik. He has guided me through the vast relevant literature and been a valuable source for discussions. The work underdone in studying organizational literature and writing this report to a large degree will influence my further work with my Ph.D. thesis. This work has helped my to see the technical aspects of my own future work in a new and more holistic perspective. Even if this journey has been long I think the journey has been worthwhile. At least it has been for me! I hope that you, the reader of this paper, also will find this journey worthwhile. iv SINTEF Informatics

Processing rehabilitation admissions and case management records in a three-person office in a major academic medical center had become cumbersome and redundant due to multiple information management approaches and requirements from various sources. Simple questionnaires and brief, casual meetings with pertinent personnel defined what was working well and what was problematic and helped establish a foundation for change management. Analysis of the existing paper system revealed more than 300 data items used more than once throughout the departmental processes. A simple timing trial, based on selected segments of a workflow diagram, revealed the potential to save 3 to 3(1/2) hours per case by revising a departmental database, decreasing work redundancy, and creating an electronic case file. Because the work environment utilized Microsoft Office and Access databases, a plan was developed to utilize these resources to streamline the workflow and eliminate duplication of effort in the admission/case management documentation processes.

Nowadays GIS users have at their disposal an unprecedented amount of spatial information, thanks to the growing acquisition capacity of the applied survey techniques and instruments, and to the development of Spatial Data Infrastructures and OGC Standards for sharing distributed spatial data. In this context there is the need for new GIS applications that cross the boundary of a single organization and are flexible enough to adapt to the environmental changes. This paper evaluates the applicability of the emerging workflow technology for developing new GIS distributed applications that combine automatic services and human interactions, and are able to deal with large amount of spatial data during long-running processing tasks. Moreover, the limits of this technology when applied to the geographical context are highlighted and some possible solutions to these limitations are proposed.

<p>(A) A zoomed view of a typical bead (top) with the pixels that contribute to the overall (red square) and local background (yellow squares) signals marked. Many replicate beads that contain the same 50-mer oligo are located on each BeadArray (middle) to ensure robust measures of expression can be obtained for each probe in a given sample. Around 48,000 different probe types are assayed in this way per sample. These BeadArrays come from a WG-6 BeadChip (bottom), which is made up of a total of 12 arrays, which are paired to allow transcript abundance to be measured in a total of six samples per BeadChip. (B) Summarizes the various data formats available along with the Illumina workflow associated with the different levels of data. Data can be in raw form, where pixel-level data are available from TIFF images, allowing the complete data processing pipeline, including image analysis, to be carried out in R. The next level, referred to as bead-level, refers to the availability of intensity and location information for individual beads. In this format, a given probe will have a variable number of replicate intensities per sample. Processed data, where replicate intensities have been summarized and outliers removed to give a mean, a measure of variability, and a number of observations per probe in each sample, is the most commonly available format. Summary data are usually obtained directly from Illumina's BeadStudio/GenomeStudio software, but can also be retrieved from public repositories such as GEO or ArrayExpress. The right-hand column of this figure indicates the R/Bioconductor packages that can handle data in these different formats. Probe annotation packages are also listed.
