Abstract :
Neonatal intensive care is one of the most complex areas of healthcare, as a result, information flow within this unit must be as efficient as possible. This paper presents initial research findings based on the use of the patient journey modeling technique known as PaJMa to audit the current state of health informatics within NICUs in Canada and internationally. In this paper, a case study from an Ontario NICU is utilized and their "Investigations" process is modeled using PaJMa.
