Clinical Standardization

Seamless integration of clinical systems to provide collaborative patient-centered care

What are workflows?

 

  • Visual representations of the actions, decisions or tasks performed to achieve a certain result
  • They are a quick and easy way to visualize the process from start to end
  • Provides a ‘walk-through’ of the process for the reader

 

Why do we use workflows?

  • To identify the correct sequence of steps in a process
  • To determine flow of communication and patient journey
  • To aid in analysis of the process
  • By understanding current practices and flow of information, areas of optimization can be identified and implemented
