If you have Pathways set up, you can track and move pathway cards through the various phases of care, or pathways, within your clinic workflow. You can view pathway cards within each phase to see and track any actions that need to be performed.

Pathway cards are added to pathways in one of the following ways:

  • If an Auto Assigned Workflow Phase is enabled for the appointment type, and that type of appointment is booked, a corresponding appointment card is created in pathways at a set time before the appointment time. For example, 15 minutes before the appointment time, the appointment card is created and moves into the Pre Visit phase. For more information, see, Creating and modifying appointment types.

  • If the appointment is a scheduled virtual visit, the appointment automatically moves to pathways when the patient signs into the visit. This happens if the patient signs in before the auto-assigned workflow phase is set to move the appointment into pathways (see above). If no auto-assigned workflow phase is set for that appointment type, the appointment moves to your default phase when the patient signs in. For more information on setting your default phase, see Configuring transitions for your Pathways.

  • You manually add a patient or appointment card to pathways. For more information, see Manually adding a patient with an appointment or Adding a patient without an appointment.

📌 Note: This article describes pathways used for our default virtual visits setup. Your configuration may differ. For more information on physical visits, see Physical pathways.

Steps

1. From the main menu, click the Pathways icon.
