N2 - The integration of workflows and guidelines modeling healthcare processes is a hot topic of research in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and is likely to provide a major advance in the IT support to healthcare [1]. In this position paper, we use a case study in order to identify commonalities and differences between workflows and guidelines. As a result of the analysis, we argue in favor of an integrated architecture in which workflow and guideline models are independently managed and supported, while integration is obtained through a mapping onto a system-internal format, where traditional AI-style inferential capabilities are supported.
