The disclosed embodiments relate to the modeling of complex workflows, such as the workflows found in a clinical medical environment. The disclosed embodiments model clinical medical workflows using Activities, Artifacts and Roles as the fundamental elements wherein the relationship among the elements defines the model. By use of the disclosed pattern (activity-role-artifact), a complex real problem may be copied on to an easily manipulated (in Excel) model. In this model, incomplete information as well as inconsistencies and procedures that are "unfavorable" (such as because they are nested) are identified. By using macros and by graphic processing, workflows that "require untangling", or other optimization, are readily detected. This review process leads to an improvement of the model and finally of the procedures in the doctor's office. The thus-modeled and optimized procedures may then be converted and displayed using the HTML standard, such as in a standard browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer).
