Abstract
International organizations, as the World Health Organization (WHO), are constantly defining new healthcare protocols and procedures, as well as modifying previously adopted ones. As a result, most health institutions have to adapt continuously their workflows and information systems in order to be aligned with international standards. This problem, called Hierarchical Adaptation Problem, is common in hierarchical domains that use administrative workflows. It also implies establishing the change propagation methods to maintain the consistency among the different levels when the original workflow is changed. To solve this problem, this work introduces the Hierarchical Adaptation Method. A method based on ontologies to define the rules that must be satisfied by a generic workflow to be considered adaptable to different application cases and the rules that must be satisfied by its adapted versions. Moreover, it provides the operations to facilitate both adaptation of workflows and propagation of changes.
