The Patchwork Economy

Documentation stopped being paperwork. It became defense.

EMRs document visits. Vendor portals show their own orders. No one built the layer in between — so the friction, the risk, and the leaked revenue all live in the gap. Every role in your practice pays for it.

  • A different login for every job

    One wound program we work with was running six systems to see a single patient. Every one is another login, another silo, another place a dollar quietly leaks — and someone burning four hours a day just turning faxes into referrals by hand.

  • The note waits — and so does the filing

    Four or five clicks to do one thing, so the note sits — for after hours, the weekend, when the detail’s already fuzzy. Then billing spends the week hounding providers to close charts before the timely-filing clock runs out. The record that has to defend you gets built late, by whoever’s most tired.

  • Every chart could be a deposition

    Authorizations expire silently. A staffer chases red-flagged quality measures by hand every quarter. Then the letter arrives, and two weeks of somebody’s job becomes reconstructing a chart from five systems. One program lived a six-figure clawback before they fixed it.

Twelve unconnected applications a wound practice uses in a day - clinical chart, wound photo on a phone, wound depth scan, audio transcription, insurance eligibility, documentation form, product catalog, purchase order, active call, email, text thread and delivery tracking - floating separately with nothing linking them.

You did everything right.
The note just couldn’t prove it.

Why it's different

The difference isn't the features.
It's what they're built on.

Every EMR is a database. It's in the name — electronic medical records. A database is a shelf: it holds what you put on it and waits to be asked. Patientflows was built on a workflow engine instead, so the system runs the work rather than storing proof that you did.

Built on a database
AIAudit defenseAnalytics
bolted on, told what to do
Database · stores · retrieves · waits

A shelf can't run a clinic. A database holds what you put on it and returns it when asked. No conditional logic, no rules that fire, no step that knows what the next one needs. So every capability above it has to be added later and driven by a human.

Built on workflows
If → thenRulesConnectsLearns
Workflow engine · task infrastructure
The record is what the work leaves behind

Workflows can act. Shelves can't. Conditional logic means the system responds to what it finds. Rules fire, steps connect to other steps, and because that logic already exists, AI has something to be agentic about. We didn't set out to build an EMR. We built the engine that runs a wound practice, and the record fell out of it.

Three questions to ask any wound-care platform.

01

Does it have conditional logic, or does it only store what you type?

Workflow‑first. If‑then, rules that fire, and steps that know what the next one needs. The system acts on what it finds instead of waiting to be asked.

02

Is the AI actually agentic, or is it search bolted onto a shelf?

Agentic by construction. Sherpa acts on logic that already exists in the workflow. Bolt AI onto a database and the only thing it can do is find text faster.

03

Can you show me the system doing something nobody asked it to do?

Yes — live, on your cases. The coverage gap surfaces before you submit. The ADR response drafts from the ARC File. Not because someone clicked. Because a rule fired.

Patientflows answers yes to all three — and will show you the third. Ask every other platform the same three questions.

One record

Everyone aligned. In real time.

Clinicians, billers, vendors, and patients — four interfaces, one shared record. No re-keying, no portal-hopping, no version only one team can see.

Four Patientflows workspaces - clinical, billing, fulfillment and patient - shown as translucent glass panels with a single continuous strand of violet light running through all four, representing one shared record.

Nothing re-keyed. The order the clinician places is the order the biller works, the vendor fulfils, and the payer sees.

Nothing hidden. The vendor sees fulfilment, the patient sees their care, and nobody waits on a portal invitation.

Nothing waiting. Everyone acts on the same record at the same moment, so the handoff stops being a delay.

One continuum

It starts with the visit. It ends with your proof.

One current runs the whole way: the visit becomes the note, the note becomes the order, the order becomes the claim, and the claim becomes your defense. Nothing re-keyed. Nothing lost in a gap.

Stage 01

Scheduling & Routing

The visit lands on the schedule — and if it's a field visit, the route optimizes itself.

An ADR becomes a download. Six of six requirements mapped to evidence, assembled as the work happened.

That is one patient, end to end. Run your own and see where the gaps are.

Your chief of staff

Sherpa works the list. You work the patient.

Every action starts from one New Task button. Sherpa proposes, you confirm and attest. Its authority escalates as your practice matures. Yours never moves.

L1 Reads

Reads what you upload

Sherpa parses documentation, asks for what's missing, structures the order, and runs LCD pre-flight. This is the floor. Every level above includes everything below it.

S“I need three more things to structure this order — can you upload the ABI reading and the last two conservative-care visit notes?”
L2 Suggests

Suggests and approves

Full chart context. Sherpa proposes at every decision — documentation gaps, order assembly, referral triage — and you attest. You are the author; Sherpa is the assistant.

S“Your DFU note is missing the vascular assessment. Want me to draft it based on last week's ABI reading?”
L3 Drafts

Drafts routine work

Sherpa drafts outreach, denial responses, appeal starts, recall messaging and care-coordination tasks. You review and send. Your team stops doing what a machine can do.

S“I've drafted the ADR response for that Novitas denial using the ARC File. Want to review before I send?”
L4 Executes

Executes with gates

Routine work happens autonomously. Money and compliance actions hold for your attestation. Enterprise adds custom thresholds, tuned with a named Patientflows engineer.

S“I sent 14 recall reminders this morning, updated 3 care plans and closed 7 referral loops. Two items need your attest — both flagged in your queue.”
From the founder

Two minutes. Then decide if it's worth a call.

Watch: why we built Patientflows — and the offer for the first 12 clinics

The question that decides the claim

“Why did you choose this product?”

It's the question in front of an administrative law judge. The honest answer can't be “my rep told me to.” With Patientflows you open one file: the wound, the failed conservative care, the payer policy, the clinical evidence, the medical necessity. Indexed and legible.

And the clock is unforgiving
45 days To respond An unanswered documentation request becomes a denial. 45 calendar days for a MAC, RAC or SMRC — 30 for a UPIC.
Level 3 Where evidence locks Records offered for the first time at the ALJ hearing are only considered if the judge finds good cause. You can lose on evidence you had all along.
1 sample Sets the rate A sample of charts can be extrapolated across the wider population, turning a handful of weak records into a six-figure demand.

Sources: 42 CFR § 405.903 (response window) · 42 CFR § 405.1028 (good cause for new evidence) · SSA § 1893(f)(3) (extrapolation).

Readiness turns the whole thing from a fire drill into a download.

The score

Graded before you submit

Every note and order gets an ARC Score — a gap analysis against the LCD, payer policy, and documentation integrity. Amber? Draft the addendum right there, attest, and the score moves to green before the claim goes out.

The file

Assembled from day one

When the ADR letter arrives, you don't hunt across the EMR, the portal, the fax, and a drafts folder. Open the ARC File, pick the scenario — ADR, Level 1, Level 2, ALJ — and export.

The standard never changes. What escalates is what happens when the audit gets real.

ARC File
Packet builds silently
Every encounter builds its own audit packet, in the background, as you document. Downloadable on demand.
ARC Response
Sherpa drafts the reply
When a denial or ADR arrives, Sherpa drafts the response using the ARC File and the payer's specific denial reason.
ARC Defense
A team runs the play
A dedicated ARC Team manages your ADR, Level 1, and Level 2 appeals end-to-end. You keep seeing patients.
ARC Authority
Clinical Council + Network
Full defense apparatus at ALJ and above. Clinical Council peer review, ARC Network community data, expert-grade evidence.
The whole platform

Everything else that runs a wound practice.

The continuum covers the clinical work. This is the rest of the operation — bundled, on the same record, for every practice.

The EMR spine

Keep your EMR. Ours is included anyway.

Patientflows is EMR-agnostic. Run it alongside the system you already have, or run ours — the operating record is bundled for every practice, never a bolt-on and never a line item. You get to use it before you decide anything. If it turns out to be the better place to work, consolidating is your call, not a condition of starting.

Bundled, every practiceNo migration requiredRun both, or one
Growth

The front office, included.

CRM, phone, text, e‑fax, chat and scheduling on the same record as the chart. Referrals stop living in a fax tray.

Marketplace & formulary

One catalog, agnostic by evidence.

Every product in one place, organised by what the record supports — not by who happens to be calling on you this week.

Vitality

The patient stays in the loop.

Photos, dressing changes, pain logs and care-plan steps from the patient's phone, landing in the record your team already works from.

Reporting & analytics

Your data, never held hostage.

Standard formats, exportable during your subscription and for 90 days after you leave. In writing.

We Know Wounds

The community that replaces the rep.

A merit-based network of wound clinicians: protocols, product evidence and peer review. So when the judge asks why you chose this product, the answer is the record and your colleagues — not whoever was in the hallway.

All of it, on one system, for every practice. See what your practice would run on.

Built for everyone in the practice

Whatever seat you're in, it takes the worst part of your day.

One platform, a different win for every role. Find your seat — then see exactly how.

Work the order the clinician actually placed.

Nothing re-keyed between the chart and the claim. The documentation gap is caught before submission, and the appeal packet is assembled as the work happened rather than reconstructed under a deadline.

06Front office & growthScheduling · intake · referrals

Referrals stop dying in the fax tray.

Inbound faxes become structured referrals on the schedule. CRM, phone, text and outreach run on the same record as the chart, so a new patient is booked without opening a second system.

Every setting

One platform, every kind of wound program.

Wound care isn't a specialty. It's a sub‑specialty — which is why it ends up scattered across half a dozen of them. The record is the same everywhere; the interface fits the wounds your practice actually sees.
