In terms of business process-modeling, healthcare is a rather complex sector of activity. Indeed, modeling healthcare processes presents some special requirements dictated by the complex and dynamic nature of these processes as well as by the specificity and diversity of the actors involved in these processes. We discuss these requirements and propose a framework for evaluating processmodeling languages based on such requirements. The proposed evaluation framework is tested using BPEL and BPMN to model a complex healthcare process and the results of the evaluation are highlighted.
