Business workflow and operating scope

Organise referral intake, administrative completeness, clinician prioritisation, appointment confirmation and receiving-team handover. A referral can wait without a clear owner when missing documents, administrative checks and clinical review are mixed together. The system makes each handover visible and separates completeness checking from clinician prioritisation, helping outpatient teams track the path to a confirmed appointment.

Governance and control

  • Every case must have an owner, priority and status.
  • Sensitive records must be visible only to authorised roles.
  • Escalation rules must be configurable by severity and elapsed time.
  • Decisions that affect entitlement, safety or payment require accountable human approval.
  • Closed cases may reopen only through a controlled path that preserves history.
  • Jurisdiction-, regulator- or authority-specific rules must be configurable and validated by an authorised domain owner before production use.
Operating rules by business workflow
  • For completeness checking, a receiving owner, evidence of acceptance and unresolved obligations are recorded before a handover closes.
  • For referral intake, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For patient identity checks, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For document completeness, the released version and authorised audience remain traceable to the accepted review.
  • For clinician review queue, evidence, reviewer authority and acceptance conditions are visible before a reviewed outcome is accepted.
  • For appointment coordination, capacity is committed only after prerequisites and the responsible provider are confirmed.
  • For handover records, a receiving owner, evidence of acceptance and unresolved obligations are recorded before a handover closes.
  • For referral ageing reports, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.
  • For operating requirement, the accepted plan records assumptions, rejected alternatives, dependencies and conditions.
  • For operating exceptions, a decision retains its authority, reason, supporting evidence and resulting obligations.
  • For completion and follow-up, evidence, reviewer authority and acceptance conditions are visible before a reviewed outcome is accepted.
  • For controlled operating changes, evidence, reviewer authority and acceptance conditions are visible before a reviewed outcome is accepted.
  • For scoped operational reports, the record retains an accountable owner, its supporting evidence and accepted outcome.

Implementation requirements
Clinical triage remains clinician controlled; requires patient identity, health record integration and jurisdiction specific privacy controls.

Mobile and tablet access

Provide authorised reviewers with referral status and administrative tasks, subject to the organisation's patient-data access rules.

Access approved workflows through the Dalfin mobile app. Device tasks and permissions are confirmed for the deployment.

AI extensions

Summarise administrative documents for an authorised reviewer. Clinical prioritisation remains clinician controlled.

AI extensions are scoped around the required data, business outcome and review controls.

Engineered with Genesis.

Structured application engineering

Connect requirements, roles, records, workflows and interfaces through the agreed Genesis engineering process.

Controlled changes

Review dependency impact and validation requirements. Context Memory supports governed changes and accepted application revisions.

Deployment and support

Agree customer cloud or on-premises requirements, device access, implementation acceptance and ongoing engineering support.

AN EXAMPLE OPERATING SCENARIO

What to validate in a scoped demonstration.

A referral is missing a required record. The coordinator obtains it and routes the completed package to the clinician, who records the priority. Scheduling confirms the appointment and the receiving team acknowledges the handover. No clinical priority is generated autonomously.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
