<p><em>The tight competition of business and technology today makes the organisation must be able to adapt to changes. The changes could affect not only business process model of the organisation but also their information system, which lead to high cost and time-consuming. Therefore, the design and implementation of an information system should handle with care. Furthermore, the organisation also needs to process data into information and knowledge to support their business. Hence, this research is developed to undertake those problems by developing the information system using hybrid approach of the workflow system and data mining technique with research centre organisation as a case study. The system named as SIMPLER which applying rules-driven workflow and data mining to process data into information and knowledge from research data. SIMPLER tested by measuring its ability as a workflow management system as well as measuring the quality based on end-user satisfaction and perception by using WebQual. Based on the test results indicate that the SIMPLER been able to satisfy the need for business process execution XYZ research centre, able to adapt to changes without reconstructing the source code and gained end users satisfaction of 81.81% and 85% of accuracy.</em></p>

At present, the enterprise has many business processes. It need transfer many forms involving personnel, procurement and other aspects. The workflow management system uses computer network to realize the automation of the business process. This paper analyses the workflow management system, describes the operational principle of the workflow engine and presents a cooperative platform design based on workflow. It can effectively track the whole process and realize standardized management. Otherwise, it can enhance the enterprise business operation efficiency.

Background USP <797> regulatory requirements have mandated that pharmacies improve aseptic techniques and cleanliness of the medication preparation areas. In addition, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) recommends that technology and automation be used as much as possible for preparing and verifying compounded sterile products. Objective To determine the benefits associated with the implementation of the workflow management system, such as reducing medication preparation and delivery errors, reducing quantity and frequency of medication errors, avoiding costs, and enhancing the organization's decision to move toward positive patient identification (PPID). Methods At Texas Children's Hospital, data were collected and analyzed from January 2014 through August 2014 in the pharmacy areas in which the workflow management system would be implemented. Data were excluded for September 2014 during the workflow management system oral liquid implementation phase. Data were collected and analyzed from October 2014 through June 2015 to determine whether the implementation of the workflow management system reduced the quantity and frequency of reported medication errors. Data collected and analyzed during the study period included the quantity of doses prepared, number of incorrect medication scans, number of doses discontinued from the workflow management system queue, and the number of doses rejected. Data were collected and analyzed to identify patterns of incorrect medication scans, to determine reasons for rejected medication doses, and to determine the reduction in wasted medications. Results: During the 17-month study period, the pharmacy department dispensed 1,506,220 oral liquid and injectable medication doses. From October 2014 through June 2015, the pharmacy department dispensed 826,220 medication doses that were prepared and checked via the workflow management system. Of those 826,220 medication doses, there were 16 reported incorrect volume errors. The error rate after the implementation of the workflow management system averaged 8.4%, which was a 1.6% reduction. After the implementation of the workflow management system, the average number of reported oral liquid medication and injectable medication errors decreased to 0.4 and 0.2 times per week, respectively. Conclusion The organization was able to achieve its purpose and goal of improving the provision of quality pharmacy care through optimal medication use and safety by reducing medication preparation errors. Error rates decreased and the workflow processes were streamlined, which has led to seamless operations within the pharmacy department. There has been significant cost avoidance and waste reduction and enhanced interdepartmental satisfaction due to the reduction of reported medication errors.
