What this Workflow Does

This workflow monitors lab feeds for critical potassium thresholds, checks conditions (e.g., CKD, heart failure) and current medications (e.g., diuretics, ACE/ARBs) to stratify risk, and proposes immediate actions such as repeat stat labs and ECG orders for provider approval. It pages the on-call clinician and arranges urgent follow-up or ED routing when indicated, with an option to require manual confirmation before patient outreach. This shortens time to intervention and improves safety.
