On the basis of the shortage on traditional workflow management system, a workflow management system framework integrated with Web Services is put forward in this paper. By discussing the application practice on Web Services and workflow management technology in logistics system, which shows that this scheme can perform integration on many enterprises.

ZusammenfassungMithilfe von Web Services und BPEL (Business Process Execution Language for Web Services) können Geschäftsprozesse und deren Interaktion mit verschiedenen Partnern beschrieben werden. Zur Ausführung der Geschäftsprozesse finden Workflow Management Systeme Verwendung. Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich, basierend auf den Grundlagen von Web Services und BPEL, mit der Implementierung eines Workflow Management Systems. Um den Anforderungen der Geschäftswelt zu genügen, muss ein Workflow Management System sowohl langlaufende, unterbrechbare als auch kurzlaufende Geschäftsprozesse mit ihren unterschiedlichen Quality-of-Service Eigenschaften unterstützen. Die Systeme müssen robust sein, sicher und hoch verfügbar. Der Artikel beschreibt die Implementierung eines J2EE-basierten Workflow Management System, das diesen Anforderungen entspricht. Dabei wird auf die Verwendung von Message Queuing Systemen und Datenbanken eingegangen, ebenso wie auf die Integration in einen Standard Application Server und die Verwendung dort zur Verfügung stehender Transaction Manager, EJB Container, People Directory und Deployment Infrastruktur.

Objective To assess the difference in pharmacy error detection rates when using a manual process compared to an intravenous workflow management system for the preparation of parenteral medications. Methods Baseline error data were collected by staff using a standard form over a four-day time period before intravenous workflow management system implementation and compared to 48 weeks of electronically collected data following implementation. The chi-square test was used for statistical comparisons. Results The ability to detect an error during the intravenous preparation process increased immediately following implementation, but this difference was not sustained and was not statistically different when the entire post-implementation time period was compared to the baseline sample. The most prevalent errors at baseline were wrong drug amount (36.4%) and wrong base solution (22.7%). Post-implementation product expiration (26.1%), wrong diluent or base (17.9%), and wrong drug amount (19.2%) were the most prevalent errors. Barcode scanning technology detected 60% of the errors during the post-implementation period. A decrease in error detection over time was observed post-implementation and was attributed to corrections and additions to the intravenous workflow management library and better prospective identification of potential errors by staff as they adjusted to the system. The use of serial imaging enabled pharmacists to detect errors prospectively, which may have previously been undetected using the traditional intravenous preparation process. Conclusion The implementation of intravenous workflow management technology was unable to detect a statistically significant greater percentage of sterile product preparation errors compared with the baseline time period. Statistical significance was achieved during three of the first four months following implementation ( P < 0.05); however, this statistically significant increase was not maintained when the entire post-implementation sample was included.

The Given

Workflow management systems are the powerful tools as well as the best supports for industries which involve series of complex workflows. Specifically, two of the main objectives of workflows management system are (1) ensuring the correctness and integration of workflow advancement, and (2) carrying workflow forward to the maximum extent automatically. To ensure the correctness and integration of workflow management system, in this paper, a workflow management method based on the workflow node property is proposed, and a workflow management system model is given. In addition, in the given model, an automatic advance mode is proposed to make the workflow is able to be carried on automatically.
