Abstract: A healthcare workflow system with a healthcare workflow robot and a rules engine that responds to events relating to healthcare data received or updated by a form interface. A rule interception component monitors healthcare data updates and in response adds event entries to an event queue to activate the healthcare workflow robot and initiate the execution of rules. The rules engine manages a set of rules with stored instructions to process data and send notifications. A workflow designer interface provides visual elements to create and update rules contained in the set of rules to be executed upon changes to the healthcare data.
