Information Exchange Process BPMN Template

The following business process diagram template is that of a Choreography diagram. This diagram type is used to specify choreographies or interactions and message flows in BPMN. Or in other words, it shows how the participants within a business process exchange information with each other to coordinate their interactions. Although it changes from the standard BPMN Process in terms of purpose and behavior, it still uses common BPMN elements such as events and gateways. The following diagram showing the exchange of messages between a doctor and patient shows this.
