Process Mining on National Health Care Data for the Discovery of Patient Journeys of Older Adults
This pioneering study used process mining to show that most older adults tend to have a straightforward health care need, often involving the emergency department and hospitalizations. However, a smaller group among the population requires more complex and prolonged care, especially in the 85+ population. Reducing the number of transitions for this population, although impacting fewer people, might result in a larger effect on the overall system.
