In Hospitals, users can experiences a block in their workflow due to organization limitation to provide sufficient equipment. That often drives the creation of an alternative work process or ‘workaround’ rather than complete the work process as intended. The purpose of this study is (1) to measure user’s workarounds and compare them to the original work process by using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN).
