Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Patient submits medication check-in

    Patient logs into their portal and reports whether they took prescribed medications, dosage timing, and any side effects experienced. This data is captured in their electronic health record.

  2. 2
    Action

    Update medication adherence records

    The system automatically calculates adherence percentage and logs any reported side effects or missed doses in the patient's treatment file. Medication history is updated with timestamps and dosage information.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Evaluate adherence and side effects

    System analyzes if adherence has dropped below 80% in the past week or if concerning side effects have been reported. Different care pathways are triggered based on these conditions.

  4. 4
    Action

    Generate provider alerts and recommendations

    For concerning patterns, the system creates priority alerts for the prescribing psychiatrist and suggests potential medication adjustments based on clinical protocols. Non-urgent updates are batched for routine review.

  5. 5
    Action

    Schedule follow-up appointments automatically

    Based on medication response patterns and adherence data, the system automatically schedules medication management appointments and sends appointment reminders to patients. Urgent cases get priority scheduling slots.

  6. 6
    Action

    Update insurance and billing records

    Medication management sessions and any required lab work or assessments are automatically coded and prepared for insurance billing. Claims are generated with appropriate CPT codes for psychiatric medication management.
