5th International Workshop on
Process-Oriented Data Science for Healthcare
(PODS4H22)
— This workshop is organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM 2022) in Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) on October 24, 2022 —
The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. The ultimate goal of data science techniques is not to collect more data, but to extract knowledge and valuable insights from existing data in various forms. To analyze and improve processes, event data is the main source of information. In recent years, a new discipline has emerged combining traditional process analysis and data-centric analysis: Process-Oriented Data Science (PODS). The interdisciplinary nature of this new research area has resulted in its application to analyze processes in a wide variety of domains. This workshop has an explicit focus on healthcare.
The International Workshop on Process-Oriented Data Science for Healthcare 2022 (PODS4H22) provides a high-quality forum for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to exchange research findings and ideas on data-driven process analysis techniques and practices in healthcare. PODS4H research includes a variety of topics ranging from process mining techniques adapted for healthcare processes, to practical issues related to the implementation of PODS methodologies in healthcare organizations.
During the 5th edition of our workshop, we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners in a spirit of collaboration and co-creation. In this way, we have the ambition to move PODS4H research and practice forward, taking into account the distinguishing characteristics and challenges of the healthcare domain which were recently published in the Journal of Biomedical Informatics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2022.103994).
This workshop is an initiative of the Process-Oriented Data Science for Healthcare Alliance within the IEEE Task Force on Process Mining

Workshop Topics
Submitted works should focus on the analysis, management, or improvement of processes using recorded data in the healthcare domain. Approaches which are not process-centric are considered out of scope. The workshop aims to compose a program containing both more theoretical contributions related to new techniques and algorithms, as well as more applied contributions such as methodologies and real-life case studies. We are looking forward to welcoming submissions from PODS4H researchers regarding their latest research results. Moreover, we highly encourage practitioners active in the healthcare domain to share their experiences and contribute to the workshop.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Process Mining in Healthcare
- Process Discovery in Healthcare
- Data-aided Process Modeling in Healthcare
- Conformance Checking and Compliance Analysis of Healthcare Processes
- Data-aided Process Enhancement and Repair
- Healthcare Process Prediction and Recommendation
- Healthcare Process Simulation
- Healthcare Process Optimization
- Process-Aware Hospital Information Systems Analysis and Data Extraction
- Interfaces for PODS4H
- Disease-driven PODS4H
- Methodologies for PODS4H
- Best Practices for PODS4H
- Case Studies of PODS4H
- WACI (Wild And Crazy Ideas) for PODS4H
Submission Instructions
Two types of submissions are considered: (1) full papers – research papers and case studies, and (2) abstracts and posters.
FULL PAPERS – RESEARCH PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES
For the full papers, a distinction is made between research papers and case studies. Research papers should focus on extending the state of the art of PODS4H research. Case studies should focus on a practical application of PODS4H in a real-life context and should clearly illustrate the distinguishing characteristics and challenges associated with PODS4H (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2022.103994). Submissions should explicitly indicate whether they are a research paper or a case study by adding “Research Paper” or “Case Study” as a subtitle.
Submitted full papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, originality, technical quality, and their potential to generate a relevant discussion, while taking into account whether it is a research paper or a case study. Submissions must use the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format. Submissions must be in English and cannot exceed 12 pages (including tables, figures, the bibliography and appendices). Besides stating whether the submission is a research paper or a case study, each paper should clarify the relation of the paper to the workshop’s main topics, clearly state the problem being addressed, the proposed solution, the results achieved, and the relation to other work. Papers should be submitted electronically as a self-contained PDF file via the Easychair submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpm2022 and select “Process-Oriented Data Science for Healthcare”). Submissions must be original contributions that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences or journals in parallel with this workshop. Accepted full papers will be presented during one of the workshop’s sessions and will be published by Springer as a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop.
ABSTRACTS AND POSTERS
Abstracts are an accessible way to share your ideas and experiences with the PODS4H community. They can focus on more theoretical contributions (new algorithms or techniques), but submissions on practical applications of existing methods or related to practical experiences are especially welcomed.
Abstracts should be in English and cannot exceed 250 words. Abstracts should be submitted electronically via the Easychair submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpm2022 and select “Process-Oriented Data Science for Healthcare”). They will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and we have the firm ambition to provide you with a notification within two weeks after submission. Authors of accepted abstracts are entitled to participate in the workshop’s poster session and will get the opportunity to give a short pitch during one of the workshop’s sessions. Upon request of the author, the poster can be published on the workshop’s website, but the abstract and poster will not be part of the post-workshop proceedings. At least one author of each accepted submission must register and participate in the workshop. The author is responsible for bringing a printed copy of the poster to the workshop.
