Abstract

People are increasingly cooperating to share electronic information and techniques throughout various industries. In healthcare applications, data (a single patient's healthcare history), workflow (procedures carried out on that patient), and logs (a recording of meaningful procedural events) are often distributed among several heterogeneous and autonomous information systems. Understanding a patient's treatment history can help healthcare providers make treatment decisions. Provenance-aware applications can facilitate this process by tracing events, event dependencies, and provider decisions across various healthcare institutions
