To simplify, facilitate and provide high-quality healthcare services, it is recommended that the current processes are drawn and then its challenges and bottlenecks such as long waiting times for services, increased costs and customer dissatisfaction in dealing with them identified and analyzed. Using process mining and its methods in the health system is one of the practical and affordable ways to analyze, modify, and improve processes. Therefore, it seems that due to the numerous capabilities of the process mining in the health system, its implementation can lead to improved healthcare quality, increased service, reduced waste, and time and resources wasted, and ultimately increased patient and therapist satisfaction.
