Abstract: To reduce the coupling within the system, according to the workflow reference model which brought out by Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC), and combining with the service-oriented ideas, the architecture of service-oriented workflow management system was proposed. On the basis of the architecture, process definition tools in the data layer, workflow engine, services Agent middleware and management monitoring tools in the service layer were designed. The service was introduced into workflow management system to achieve internal collaboration. Service Agent middleware model was given and its function as well as application process were analyzed. The developed system was applied in office automation system in ShengJing Hospital of China Medical University. Feasibility of the design schema was validated by a case study of outpatient diagnosis.
