CONCLUSION: The object-oriented approach helped us to focus on the topic of interest, the assessment program, without being concerned by the whole environment. The assessment model we designed attempts to make a link with the business process performed in daily routine. This article explores the way business process modelling can contribute to the modelling of a professional practices assessment system. Apart from the modelling and technical aspects, this nationwide project contains major challenges: to enroll all physicians on an individualized basis and to create appropriate conditions for the extension of the evaluation program and device to other specialties.
