Dashboard updates with real-time clinic metrics

Purpose

1.1. Automates the process of updating dashboards with live clinic performance metrics, ensuring neurophysiologist practitioners access up-to-date data for operational, clinical, and administrative decision-making.
1.2. Automatable flows ingest EMR, scheduling, financial, and device data, process it for KPI extraction (e.g., patient throughput, EEG/EMG test counts, referral ages), and automatedly push updates to visual dashboards in real time.
1.3. Enables data-driven action, benchmarking, compliance tracking, patient load balancing, and automated alerting on anomalies or trends directly in customized dashboards for neurophysiology clinics.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New EMR entry or test result uploaded.
2.2. Manual or scheduled trigger (e.g., every 5 minutes or hour).
2.3. External source sends a webhook (e.g., medical device, scheduling app API).
2.4. Automated database or file change event (e.g., CSV, HL7 FHIR integration).
2.5. Cloud service event (e.g., AWS S3 file save, Azure Logic App push, Google Pub/Sub message).
2.6. Anomaly detected during automated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline.
