Abstract: An example operation metrics collection and processing system is to mine a data set including patient and exam workflow data from information source(s) according to an operational metric for a workflow of interest. An example healthcare workflow performance monitoring system includes a contextual analysis engine to mine a data set to identify patterns based on current and historical healthcare data for a healthcare workflow and extract context information from the identified patterns and data mined information. The example system includes a statistical modeling engine to dynamically create contextual performance indicators based on the context and pattern information including a contextual ordering of events in the healthcare workflow.
