Exploratory Questions
1) What are the modeling methodologies used to
conceptually model CPs?
2) Are there formal standards for modeling CPs?

Further Investigation:
• Can the SCOR model be used as a “bridge” for modeling
CPs on a standard basis?

2.Multi-Perspective Modeling
• To adequately depict operational and clinical features of
CPs, a multi-perspective modeling approach should be
embraced.

Conclusions
• There is a need to establish a common research agenda
for modeling and simulation of CPs.
• Future studies are to pay particular attention to fit their
research methods to the state of prior work on CPs
modeling .
• The proposed directions are thought to considerably
boost the integration of CPs within the Clinical Decision
Support System (CDSS).
