How Backline works

From message to meaningful action.

A message, call, alert, EHR event, or patient response can start a workflow. You decide who it reaches, how fast they respond, and what happens if they don't. Backline makes sure it gets done.

Example workflows. Every step, owner, and time window is yours to configure.

Backline is easily accessible and benefits both the nurse and the patient. It helps us provide better patient care. It is so easy for the nurse to get a hold of the provider, rather than paging them and waiting for a call back.
