Abstract

This study proposes an ontology model to represent the surgical pathways for appendicectomy, incorporating domain knowledge extracted from literature and electronic records in an Australian health district. The ontology comprised 108 concepts and 81 object properties. The model is useful for continuous quality improvement initiatives, i.e., process mining to understand what happens in the hospital versus what is required by the policy.
