Healthcare · Playbook

The healthcare playbook. Built in the builder, decided by your hospital system.

Ten journeys, each drawn below as it runs. The decision comes from your hospital, lab or pharmacy system or criteria you set; the journey carries it. Clinical decisions stay in your system. Aims are targets to agree in the pilot, not results.

PLAYBOOKS · 01Illustrative journey

Reach the result nobody opened.

A result released by your lab system sends a notice to the Inbox with no result inside, checks whether your app reported a view within forty-eight hours, and if not sends one WhatsApp with View result or Call me, then a call for silence.

Decides
your lab system's release; the patient.
Aim
results seen, on the record.
Built in the journey builder
Reach the result nobody openedHEALTHCAREThe notice carries no result; the result stays in your system, behind your login.

Drawn as it would run in the builder. Thresholds, windows and channel order are the ones you set; the decision at each API step comes from your system.

What it takes to run
Intended outcome
results seen, on the record.
Trigger
result released (your lab system)
Events and identifiers
result released (your lab system). The trigger arrives from your system by API with your customer identifier and the fields named in the trigger. Example inputs; map them to your own event names and identifiers at setup. Every event carries your customer identifier.
Your systems in the loop
call me: task to your desk. Your system validates and executes each of these; the journey sends the request and branches on the answer.
Consent
Checked inside the journey at the step shown, and per channel before any send.
Stops when
yes: stop. The message is delivered on the first channel that reports delivery, or the fallback order is exhausted and the failure is recorded.
If a channel fails or nobody answers
A channel that reports failure advances the fallback order on that carrier signal; when the last channel in the order has reported failure, the message is recorded as failed with the reason. Delivery callbacks that arrive late update the record when they arrive.
Success metric
results seen, on the record. Population: contacts who entered the journey in the window. Compared with the baseline window agreed before the pilot, on the conversion events you define. A before-and-after difference is a comparison, not proof of cause.

Offer the health check when the pattern says it is due.

A patient not seen in fourteen months enters a segment; your system confirms the check is due and not booked, then one WhatsApp offers Book a slot or Not now, and a tap fetches the open slots and books in your system.

Decides
your screening rules and your scheduler.
Aim
screenings booked without a call list.

Consent

Stops when
no tap: silence. The customer completes the step the journey waits for, the deadline on a wait passes, or the branch drawn for silence ends.
If a channel fails or nobody answers
A channel that reports failure advances the fallback order on that carrier signal; silence takes the path drawn for it, with the deadline you set. Delivery callbacks that arrive late update the record when they arrive. An API step that answers no, or fails, takes the branch drawn for it; the platform does not act on your system's behalf beyond that request.

Offer home sample collection the day a test is ordered.

A test ordered in your lab system asks whether collection covers the patient's address, then sends one WhatsApp with Collect at home or Visit the lab; a tap books the collection in your system and confirms the time window.

your lab system and its collection coverage.
Aim
more samples collected, fewer tests never taken.
