Automatic Discharge Transport Ready Nudges
Every few minutes, WebRun checks Patient Focused Systems for discharge transport requests that are still unassigned, and posts dispatch a Slack nudge naming the unit and how long the request has waited, so discharge-ready patients don't sit behind routine trips while a bed goes unturned.
How do I prioritize transport for discharge-ready patients automatically?
WebRun checks Patient Focused Systems every few minutes for discharge transport requests that are still unassigned. Once one has waited more than 10 minutes, it posts dispatch a Slack nudge naming the unit and the wait, so a discharge-ready patient's transport gets prioritized instead of sitting behind routine trips, helping the unit turn the bed over sooner.
- Discharge-ready patients get prioritized transport instead of waiting behind routine trips
- Dispatch is nudged within 10 minutes of a request going unassigned
- Nudges stop automatically the moment a porter is assigned
Built for patient transport dispatchers · bed management teams · charge nurses · hospital throughput coordinators

Questions, answered
Does this speed up the actual porter assignment?
It doesn't assign a porter itself, it nudges dispatch in Slack so a discharge-ready patient's transport gets prioritized instead of sitting behind routine requests.
How long does a discharge request wait before it's nudged?
10 minutes unassigned by default, adjustable in your run settings if your units need a tighter or looser threshold.
Will it keep nudging after a porter is assigned?
No. It rechecks Patient Focused Systems before nudging and stops as soon as a porter shows assigned to that request.
