A health plan application includes a process for surgical procedure requests. Currently, there is an evaluation subprocess in which a physician reviews the diagnosis and enters the recommended procedure and its urgency. The request then advances to a medical director who analyzes the feedback and approves the appropriate procedure. The health care organization has created a new requirement, which states that three physicians can perform the evaluation independently. Only two evaluations are necessary to advance the case to the medical director.
In order to allow the three physicians to review the orders in parallel, how would you configure the process?

Correct Answer:
B
To allow three physicians to review the orders in parallel, you need to use the 'Split For Each' shape. This shape enables parallel processing for each item in a list, such as the list of physicians.
Understanding Split For Each Shape in Pega:
The 'Split For Each' shape allows you to create instances of a subprocess for each item in a specified list. This means each physician can independently review and evaluate the surgical procedure requests simultaneously.
Configuration Steps:
Step 1: Create a list of physicians who will be performing the evaluations.
Step 2: Add a 'Split For Each' shape to the process flow.
Step 3: Configure the 'Split For Each' shape to iterate over the list of physicians.
Step 4: Define the evaluation subprocess to be called for each physician.
Step 5: Ensure that each physician's evaluation subprocess is independent of the others.
Advantages of Using Split For Each:
This approach allows all three physicians to perform their evaluations simultaneously, reducing the overall processing time and ensuring that the process can advance as soon as two out of three evaluations are completed.

Pega Documentation on Split For Each shape provides detailed steps on how to configure and use this shape in your process flows.
