About BPM Community of Practice

Founded in 2019, the BPM Community of Practice focuses on bringing effective business modeling into healthcare. It provides health organizations, professional societies, and vendors with a platform to document care pathways and workflows using open, standards-based notations. This approach enables consistent, precise sharing and implementation of best practices across the healthcare ecosystem.

Goals

• Develop best practices for clinical pathways and guidelines
• Promote the adoption of standards to maximize their utility
• Foster a knowledge-sharing ecosystem to improve healthcare outcomes
• Enhance precision and compliance for best-practice implementation
• Collaborate with other standards organizations in healthcare

Mission: To advance evidence-based medical practices by standardizing and sharing processes and clinical expertise, enabling practitioners to eliminate errors and improve outcomes.

What is BPM Community of Practice?

BPM integrates three complementary modeling standards:

• BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation): For prescriptive workflows
• CMMN (Case Management Model and Notation): For reactive activities
• DMN (Decision Model and Notation): For complex decision-making rules

By combining these standards, BPM+ addresses ambiguities inherent in natural-language guidelines, providing precise, automatable guidance to improve care quality and consistency. Organizations use BPM+ to model and streamline processes, ensuring accurate and scalable healthcare delivery.
