What this Workflow Does

This workflow continuously screens labs for critical thresholds, determines responsible ownership via encounters, and pushes urgent alerts with recommended next actions via messages. It documents acknowledgment and, when permitted, drafts stat orders for clinician sign-off. This shortens time to intervention and improves patient safety.
