Care Path Assignment

This Decision Flow takes symptoms and patient characteristics to determine the best course of action for care. It uses decision tables to assess vitals and symptoms, producing specific notes and a diagnosis, and then utilizes a scoring table and decision tree to assign the final care path.

• A Decision Table named Temperature assigns a health category (such as Hypothermia, Normal, or High Fever) and medical notes based on the patient's input temperature.

• A Decision Table named Heart Rate Categories assigns a category (such as Severe Bradycardia or Tachycardia) and actionable notes based on the patient's heart rate.

• A Decision Table named Acuity Symptoms assigns an acuity level (High, Medium, or Low) based on reported symptoms, such as chest pain or mild headache.

• A Decision Table named Score Assignment translates the specific health conditions identified in previous steps (e.g., "Severe Bradycardia" or "Hypothermia") into a standardized score (High Score, Medium Score, or Low Score).

• A Decision Tree named Routing Matrix determines the final patient location (e.g., Emergency Room, Nurse Triage, or Telehealth) based on the calculated overall acuity and the patient's insurance status.

• A Decision Flow Care Path Assignment orchestrates these components:

  • It runs the Temperature, Heart Rate, and Acuity rules in parallel to fetch symptoms and initial acuity levels.

  • It aggregates the outputs from these rules into a condition list and scores them using the Score Assignment table.

  • Finally, it utilizes the Routing Matrix to determine the care path and appends all relevant medical notes to the final output for the patient record.

Use this Decision Flow as a ready-made triage engine to standardize patient intake and routing within your healthcare systems.
