Printer-friendly versionPatient Pathways® are patent-pending clinical workflows that guide patients through a unique path of tasks and education relevant to their condition and hospital stay. Pathways empower patients with the knowledge to be active participants in their care. These workflows direct meaningful patient interactions using a series of coordinated prompts on the bedside TV. Patients progress through the workflows at their own pace engaging in award-winning education and care tasks - from simple tasks like patient surveys to coordinated care plans that span multiple days.
GetWellNetwork can notify caregivers via pager, phone or email if the patient has not viewed the required educational video(s), answered questions incorrectly, or has additional questions. Completion of education, tasks and comprehension assessments are documented to the patient’s GetWellNetwork patient profile, and optionally in the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). Patient progress is recorded to help nurses and staff monitor patient activity, enabling them to intervene and engage the patient when necessary.
