Use Cases
If Your Team Coordinates It Manually, Pathways Can Structure It
Medication alerts, discharge coordination, consult response, shift handoffs — these are just the workflows we've documented so far. Pathways is a configurable platform, not a fixed set of solutions. Any process where work needs to move across people, departments, or systems is a candidate. Browse what we've built, or bring us yours.
Filter:
Medication Alert Management
Critical medication alerts get lost in clinical communication threads. Pathways assigns the task, starts a timer, and escalates if no one acts.
Trigger: clinical event / EHR flag
See workflow
Discharge Coordination
Six departments need to sign off before a patient can leave, but no one can see who's blocking. Pathways runs the tasks in parallel with real-time visibility.
Trigger: discharge order in EHR
See workflow
Consult Response Management
Paging confirms delivery, not response. Pathways routes consult requests to the on-call specialist, enforces acknowledgment, and escalates if the SLA is missed.
Trigger: consult order
See workflow
Care Transition Management
Patient transfers rely on verbal reports and handwritten notes. Pathways creates a structured digital handoff with required fields and confirmed receipt.
Trigger: patient transfer event
See workflow
Prior Authorization
Auth requests move by fax and email, and no one knows where they stand. Pathways collects documentation, coordinates multi-party approval, and keeps patients informed.
Trigger: clinical order requiring auth
See workflow
Referral Tracking & Completion
Referrals get placed and disappear. Pathways notifies the specialist, guides the patient through next steps via portal, and escalates if the appointment isn't confirmed.
Trigger: referral order
See workflow
Structured Shift Handoffs
What gets communicated at shift change depends on who's tired and how busy the unit was. Pathways standardizes the handoff with required fields and confirmed receipt.
Trigger: scheduled shift change
See workflow
Room Turnover Coordination
Every hour a bed sits dirty is an hour a new patient can't be placed. Pathways notifies housekeeping automatically on patient exit and tracks completion in real time.
Trigger: room exit / patient discharge
See workflow

Don't see your workflow?
These eight represent the most common coordination breakdowns we see — but Pathways is configurable to any process where work needs to move across people, departments, or systems. If your team coordinates it manually today, we can structure it.
