Agentic Workflow Engine

AI that doesn't just advise —
it acts.

NexusAI's Agentic Workflow Engine deploys intelligent agents across prior authorization, care coordination, discharge planning, and revenue operations — running autonomously, 24 hours a day, across every patient encounter.

From decision support to autonomous action

Most clinical AI surfaces insights — a finding highlighted, a risk score surfaced. Acting on those insights still falls on already-stretched care teams and administrative staff.

NexusAI's Agentic Engine closes that loop. It ingests clinical findings, EHR context, payer rules, and operational state — then autonomously initiates workflows, submits requests, drafts communications, and escalates exceptions — all within guardrails your clinicians and compliance team define.

The result is not just better information. It's faster care, less administrative drag, and revenue that doesn't leak through the cracks.

Conventional AI
  • Surfaces findings to clinician
  • Clinician reads, decides, acts
  • Separate PA team handles auth
  • CDI queried after discharge
  • Coordination via phone / fax
  • Denial workup is manual
NexusAI Agentic
  • Agent detects finding and acts
  • Prior auth submitted in real-time
  • CDI flagged during the encounter
  • Care team notified automatically
  • Discharge pathway pre-built
  • Denials prevented, not worked

The agent execution loop

Every NexusAI agent follows a five-stage cycle — from clinical signal to closed-loop action — with human oversight at every escalation point.

📡

Signal Ingestion

EHR events, imaging AI findings, lab results, payer rules, and ADT feeds — processed in real-time

🧩

Context Assembly

Patient timeline, clinical history, payer policy, and current care pathway fused into structured agent context

⚙️

Agent Reasoning

Specialized LLM agents evaluate clinical and operational state against institutional and payer-specific guidelines

Autonomous Action

Agent executes — submits PA, generates note, routes alert, initiates order, or flags for human review

Outcomes logged, agent performance measured, models fine-tuned against your institutional workflows

⚠️

Human-in-the-Loop by Design: All agentic actions occur within configurable guardrail thresholds. Clinical decisions remain with licensed practitioners. Administrative agents can operate autonomously within pre-approved scope; clinical escalations always route to the appropriate care team member. NexusAI is deployed as a workflow automation and clinical decision support tool, not as an autonomous medical device.

Six specialized agents. One integrated workforce.

Each NexusAI agent is purpose-built for a specific clinical or operational workflow — trained on domain-specific data, tested against real institutional workflows, and configurable to your policies.

📋

Prior Authorization Agent

Monitors order entry and clinical findings in real-time. Assembles complete clinical justification packages — including relevant imaging findings, diagnosis codes, and supporting documentation — and submits to payer portals autonomously. Tracks status and escalates denials.

🏥

Care Coordination Agent

Bridges care teams across specialties. When the Clinical AI Engine flags a critical finding — an LVO, aortic dissection, or high-risk PE — the Care Coordination Agent immediately notifies the appropriate specialist, confirms receipt, and activates the relevant care pathway without waiting for manual hand-offs.

💰

CDI & Coding Agent

Continuously reviews encounter documentation against ICD-10 guidelines and DRG optimization rules during the admission — not after discharge. Flags missing specificity, secondary diagnoses, and documentation gaps in real-time, with suggested query language for the clinical team.

🚪

Discharge Planning Agent

Begins discharge planning at admission, not day-of. Evaluates clinical trajectory, insurance coverage, post-acute options, and social determinants to assemble a discharge pathway — reducing length of stay variation and ensuring safe, appropriate transitions of care.

Utilization Management Agent

Monitors inpatient status, clinical criteria (InterQual / MCG), and payer communications to ensure appropriate level-of-care designation throughout the stay. Flags potential observation-to-inpatient conversions and proactively assembles clinical criteria documentation.

Patient Outreach Agent

Automates care gap closure, preventive care reminders, post-discharge follow-up, and chronic disease management outreach. Multi-channel — SMS, secure messaging, patient portal — with EHR-documented response tracking and escalation to care coordinators when engagement is needed.

Agents active across the full patient lifecycle

NexusAI agents don't just activate at discharge or billing. They're present and acting at every phase of the care continuum.

01

Pre-Encounter

Before the patient arrives, agents prepare the care team with actionable context.

02

During Encounter

Agents operate in real-time alongside the care team — surfacing, acting, and documenting.

03

Inpatient Stay

Agents monitor clinical trajectory and operational status continuously during admission.

Autonomous — but never unsupervised

Every NexusAI agent operates within a governance architecture designed with clinical compliance, legal accountability, and operational control in mind.

🎛️

Configurable Guardrails

Each agent operates within institutional policies you define. Action thresholds, escalation paths, and autonomous scope are set by your clinical and compliance leadership — not by us.

📝

Full Action Audit Trail

Every agent action — decision, draft, submission, or escalation — is logged with timestamp, model version, input context, and outcome. Fully auditable for compliance and quality review.

👩‍⚕️

Clinician Override Always

Any clinical action taken or recommended by an agent can be overridden by a licensed clinician with one tap. Override data feeds back into model improvement cycles.

🔔

Anomaly & Drift Detection

Real-time monitoring flags when agent behavior deviates from expected patterns — triggering review before errors reach the patient or the claim.

⚖️

Regulatory Alignment

Agentic workflows are deployed as CDS tools and workflow automation, aligned with applicable CMS, OIG, and payer compliance frameworks. NexusAI does not operate as an autonomous clinical decision-maker.

🏛️

Institutional Policy Engine

A rules layer allows compliance, legal, and clinical leadership to set non-negotiable constraints that no agent can override — ensuring institutional accountability at every step.
