Abstract

A Clinical Pathway(CP) is standard process to way of treat diseases or injuries which is adapted to each hospital based on National Clinical Practice Guideline(CPG). Since CP is standard guideline for doctors and nurses working in a hospital, making and modifying CP is one of the most important administrational work for hospital and also rare work because once it is fixed, it's not changed whether there are new kind of disease discovered or new treatment is developed. However, in present, patient's waiting time during hospital residence process, is discussed as service competitive for patients. In this research, we utilize process mining tool to verify patients treatment process follows CP with EMR(Electronic Medical Record) in a sample hospital, and suggest modifcation point of CP through verification.
