After selecting a routing recipient, when will the system route the message?

The system routes the message after you exit the patient workspace. This action signifies that you have completed your tasks related to that particular patient and are ready for the message to be processed in conjunction with the workflows linked to the patient's care. The routing mechanisms in EpicCare are designed to function based on context changes within the patient care environment. When you exit the patient workspace, the system recognizes that the current workflow for that patient is complete, allowing the message to be sent to the designated recipient effectively.

In this scenario, closing the Routing section, clicking on another patient's chart, or completing encounter documentation do not trigger the message routing. These actions might pertain to the tasks and information management within an active patient workflow but do not indicate a transition that would prompt the routing system to execute the message delivery. The routing process is contingent on leaving the current patient context, ensuring that communications are aligned with appropriate workflow protocols designed within the EpicCare system.
