Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant strain on medical facilities. The race between global pandemic spread and medical practices progression produced a plethora of clinical guidelines. In Russia, more than ten official versions of such guidelines have been developed since the start of the pandemic. Thus, treatment processes have undergone several changes. Additionally, organizational schemes of patient care delivery were affected by the availability of hospital resources. In our study, we identified the characteristics of COVID-19 treatment processes at a large multidisciplinary hospital, that was adapted for treating COVID- 19 several times during disease outbreaks. For this task, we used a process mining technique. Given the peculiarities of the hospital information system, we developed an approach for analysing treatment flow. Then, we compared clinical pathways in different pandemic periods and verified compliance with the official guidelines.
