Summary
Business process management (BPM) optimizes healthcare by integrating telemedicine and hyperautomation for patient-centric chronic disease care. This approach enhances efficiency and reduces clinical risk, particularly for conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Digital Health
- Chronic Disease Management
Background:
- Rising global burden of chronic diseases strains healthcare resources.
- Healthcare systems face challenges with scarce and expensive human resources.
- Business Process Management (BPM) offers a solution for optimizing healthcare processes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present and evaluate a redesign of diagnostic and therapeutic processes.
- To enable patient-centric therapy organization using telemedicine and hyperautomation.
- To demonstrate improved healthcare delivery for chronic diseases, using COPD as a case study.
Main Methods:
- Redesign of diagnostic and therapeutic processes.
- Implementation of telemedicine techniques and hyperautomation elements.
- Utilizing clinical pathways (CPs) based on Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines.
- Application of patient engagement and artificial intelligence (predictive analytics).
Main Results:
- Demonstrated effectiveness of BPM in optimizing clinical processes through automatic health parameter tracking.
- Successful patient-centric organization of therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
- Identification and verification of new knowledge within diagnostic and therapeutic workflows.
- Reduced clinical risk through patient engagement and predictive analyses.
Conclusions:
- Redesigned processes using telemedicine and hyperautomation enhance patient-centric care.
- Comprehensive, patient-focused primary care alleviates healthcare system burdens.
- BPM, combined with AI and patient engagement, improves chronic disease management and reduces therapeutic risks.

2.5K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
