1. About the Protocol Flow
The Protocol Flow is where users navigate protocols step by step, one card at a time.
The Protocol Flow progressively unveils to help reduce distraction for the users and support them in focusing on what is important, when it is important.
The order of the protocol steps is influenced by the input provided by the users, and is articulated by a logic which has been determined by your organization's medical directors and administrators.
The protocol flow is part of the Live Decision Support package.
It is accessible from the Triage and /or the Protocol Editor Module(s).
