"Flow map"

Flow maps are used to show the order of an event and the relationships of the stages in the process. In the map you can see the progress of what it would take for someone to go to school. You see in the map it flows from a patient wanting a referral to the front office to the insurance company. It flows from one event to another. http://www.aafp.org/fpm/2005/0400/p61.html
