10 The infant mortality rate in the USA was 5. 10 11 Life expectancy in the USA was the lowest at 78.8 years compared with a range from 80.7 to 83.9 years for other OECD countries. 8 9 However, compared with other OECD countries, the USA performs poorly on process, outcome and patient experience metrics, as well as life expectancy. 9 This ratio reached 17.7% at the same time in the USA, where the national health spending is projected to reach US$6.2 trillion by 2028, growing at an average annual rate of 5.4%. 6–9 In 2019, Canada spent 10.8% of its gross domestic product on healthcare expenses according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). 4 5 Through the years, health expenditure and financing have increased substantially in developed countries such as the USA and Canada. The paper also presents the modelling process followed for the creation of the BPMN Ontology, and describes some application scenarios exploiting the BPMN Ontology.With the continuous challenges facing healthcare organisations in the past few years, 1–3 many strategies have focused on process improvements with the objective of enhancing efficiency and efficacy to improve patient outcomes while controlling costs. Using the classes and properties defined in the BPMN Ontology any BPMN diagram can be represented as an A-box (i.e., a set of instances and assertions on them) of the ontology: this allows the exploitation of ontological reasoning services such as consistency checking and query answering to investigate the compliance of a process with the BPMN Specification as well as other structural property of the process. The proposed ontology (the BPMN Ontology) provides a classification of all the elements of BPMN, together with the formal description of the attributes and conditions describing how the elements can be combined in a BPMN business process description.

In this paper we describe a formal ontological description of the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN), one of the most popular languages for business process modelling.
