Workflow Engine Rules

Question 1

Workflow Engine Rule (LOR)

Answer 1

“WE Rules” are rules that run every time a user opens a patient’s workspace so that they can be altered in real time to fit that user’s workflow needs.

Ex: These rules can evaluate a patient’s age and/or sex to determine which navigator should appear when a user opens up a chart.

Question 2

Condition (if statement)

Answer 2

Statements that evaluate different kinds of data about patients, users, and workstations.
This determines which properties of the encounter the Workflow Engine should evaluate.

Ex: “if Patient Encounter Type = Ambulatory”

Question 3

Property

Answer 3

Data that can be evaluated in the condition of a WE rule.

Ex: Patient Encounter Type, Patient Age, etc.

Question 4

Directive (then statement)

Answer 4

The resulting statement from the condition, that tells the Workflow Engine what to do if the details of the encounter match the associated condition.

Ex: “….then show adult navigator”
