Automation Pipeline

Every automation, every document, every approval, in one place.

The Automation Pipeline is the repository of record for the bots running inside a health system. It answers the questions compliance asks: what is running, who owns it, what does it touch, and where is the paperwork.

What a reviewer gets

Built for the people who have to sign off, not just the people who build.

One system of record

Every automation in the organization is registered in one place with a name, department, facility, business owner, and technical owner. Nothing runs that is not on the list.

Stage gates you can point to

Intake, Discovery, Sizing, PDD, SDD, UAT, Production, Maintenance, Retired. An automation cannot move to Production without the documents behind it.

Documents with versions and approvals

Each automation carries links to its PDD, SDD, Facilitator Guide, test plan, and approval record, each with a version number, approval date, who attached it, and a system timestamp.

A trail an auditor can follow

Stage changes, document attachments, and ownership changes are stored with who did them and when. Pull the history for any automation in seconds.

Credentials and exceptions are declared

Each automation states which systems it touches, what credentials it uses, and how it handles exceptions. Reviewers see the risk surface before go-live.

Impact analysis when systems change

Tag an automation to Availity, Epic, or a payer portal. When that system changes, see every bot that depends on it and who owns each one.

The audit view

This is the table a compliance lead opens. Every row links to the documents and the change history behind it.

Questions this answers

The ones that come up in an audit, a security review, or a board meeting.
