Focusing the clinical performance on screening processes has proven to be the way to improve morbidity and mortality statistics of this recognized public health problem. Business process management (BPM) is a management field that improves and analyzes business processes according to organizations’ strategies. BPM may help manage patient and information flow, improving waiting time in healthcare delivery while integrating healthcare processes with IT. The early diagnosis of breast cancer is of great importance since it will enable more conservative treatments and a longer disease-free survival. Organized oncology screenings programs, with all elements properly prepared, revealed to be more efficient than the opportunistic screenings. The aim of this study is to identify and model BPM processes for the healthcare sector, namely, for the breast cancer screening in Portugal. To achieve this goal, the main processes were identified and new frameworks were proposed and validated through individual interviews with experts. In this study was concluded that BPM techniques can be applied to the healthcare. Through the application of these techniques it was possible to identify the main issues within the organized breast cancer screening and suggest changes to it. These changes focus on reducing the time of the process, improving its efficiency and offering greater support to the health user.Santos, Vitor Manuel Pereira Duarte dosSantos, Carolina Isabel Rêgo RécioRUNMarques, Inês Filipa Terras2020-11-20T17:25:25Z2020-11-092020-11-09T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/107518TID:202540960enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:52:16Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/107518Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:41:00.846026Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
