Smart guidelines
More consistent application of clinical guidelines, reduction in clinical errors, and improved efficiency by embedding guideline-based workflows directly into care delivery. By reducing reliance on static documents and individual interpretation, organisations can ensure that clinical best practices are applied consistently across teams, even in high staff turnover environments.
Digital clinical guidelines and SOPs are translated into structured, executable workflows that guide decision-making in real time and support automated documentation. Instead of searching for and interpreting guidelines, clinicians are supported step by step during care delivery, improving reliability and efficiency.
Clinical content can be centrally managed, version-controlled, and shared across departments or institutions, enabling consistent implementation and collaboration.

Current usecases
At MedUni Vienna’s emergency department, Smart Guidelines are used to manage chest pain workflows, improving access to SOPs and supporting consistent care in high staff turnover environments.
Further applications at the hospital include oncology, hematology, and emergency scenarios, where clinical knowledge is translated into structured workflows to support decision-making and continuous improvement.
Ongoing work includes the development of structured workflows for emergency scenarios such as breast pain pathways.
