FAQ
A patient flow diagram is a flowchart that maps the steps a patient moves through within a healthcare setting - from initial contact through triage, diagnosis, treatment, and discharge. It uses connected nodes to show processes, decisions, and handoffs so clinical teams can visualize and improve care delivery.
