Carried out. Path 3 – on average 51 h to intervention: Patients which follow the third path receive an X-ray (‘Radiologische, CT, MRT Leistung’, purple hexagon), on average, six hours after their arrival at the hospital. Afterwards, on average 18 h pass before the patient receives an electocardiogram (‘EKG’, yellow hexagon). Finally, a coronary angiography takes place, on average, another 27 h later. Note that Fig. 2 also contains a connection between the execution of an electrocardiogram (‘EKG’, yellow hexagon) and hospital admission (‘Aufnahme’, blue hexagon). This connection represents patients which are temporarily discharged from the hospital, but return the following day to continue the process. Another interesting connection was revealed by analysing the data i.e. the direct connection from admission (‘Aufnahme’, blue hexagon) to discharge (Entlassung, blue hexagon) in Fig. 2 within 21 h. This connection can be explained by the existence of a specific group of patients for whom the treatment has been recorded in a different logic. These patients have previously not been included in the internal performance measurement. This shows that process mining can also highlight relevant deviations in the documentation. In this way, important areas of action for the improvement of data quality have been identified, generating additional added value for the hospital.As mentioned in Sect. 3, it is important that process mining insights are also translated to actions. Based on the analysis, of which some highlights have been presented above, several actions have been specified in the process, as will be exemplified here. Firstly,
