摘要

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are continually updated, yet translating such narrative recommendations into formal Care Pathway (CPW) processes remains labor-intensive and prone to inconsistency. We introduce a modular, end-to-end extraction pipeline that leverages Large Language Model (LLM) frameworks to automatically generate and evaluate BPMN models of CPWs from CPG text. Our system standardizes different output formats, applies LLM-based label alignment to harmonize terminology, and evaluates models against reference models using node- and structural-similarity metrics. Experiments on four stroke-related CPGs, using two state-of-the-art LLM frameworks—ProMoAI and a multi-agent orchestration approach (MAO)—shows the feasibility of automated CPW process extraction. We further observe that the multi-agent framework (MAO) demonstrates markedly higher fidelity. A web-based UI supports experiment configuration and result inspection. We released all code, prompts, and datasets as open-source to promote reproducibility and future enhancements.
