Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Patient Assessment Completed

    A new patient assessment is submitted or an existing patient's condition update is recorded in the home health system. This triggers the care plan creation or revision process.

  2. 2
    Action

    Extract Clinical Data

    The system pulls relevant patient information including medical history, current medications, functional status, and assessment scores. Clinical protocols and care standards are also retrieved based on diagnosis codes.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Determine Care Plan Type

    The workflow evaluates if this is a new care plan creation or an update to existing plan based on patient status. Different approval workflows and documentation requirements apply to each scenario.

  4. 4
    Action

    Generate Care Interventions

    AI automatically creates personalized care interventions, visit frequencies, and goal targets based on clinical protocols and patient needs. The system matches appropriate caregiver skill levels to required services.

  5. 5
    Action

    Route for Clinical Review
