Care pathway design
Map the clinical pathway: patient entry criteria, care steps, decision nodes, escalation paths, discharge criteria. Snap it. The summary becomes the first draft of the care pathway protocol before it goes to clinical review.
Healthcare
BoardSnap for healthcare teams.
BoardSnap is an iOS app that turns the whiteboard sessions healthcare organizations run — care pathway design, operations planning, health IT architecture — into structured, documented output in under ten seconds.

Why healthcare teams pick BoardSnap
Healthcare organizations run on protocols, pathways, and process. Care pathway design, patient flow optimization, EHR implementation planning, operational performance improvement — all of it starts at a whiteboard. Clinical teams sketch patient journey maps. Health IT teams diagram system integrations. Operations teams redesign discharge workflows on a six-foot board in a conference room. Then the meeting ends and the board gets erased.
BoardSnap captures that work at the whiteboard. Snap the care pathway diagram, the patient flow redesign, the EHR integration architecture. BoardSnap AI reads the workflow structure — swim lanes, decision points, handoff arrows — and returns a written summary your team can use as a starting point for formal documentation.
For health system administrators managing multiple service lines or facilities, Projects keep work organized. Each project holds its own boards and context — ED throughput improvement doesn't mix with oncology pathway design.
Common healthcare workflows
Patient flow optimization
Draw the current-state patient flow through the ED or surgical unit: arrival, triage, assessment, treatment, disposition. Mark the bottlenecks. Design the improved flow. Snap both boards. The structured comparison guides your process improvement team.
EHR implementation planning
Diagram the EHR integration architecture, workflow modifications, training plan, and go-live sequence. Snap it. The structured summary becomes the implementation planning document your project team works from.
Quality improvement working sessions
Use the board to map PDSA cycles, root cause fishbone diagrams, or lean process mapping outputs. Snap each session. The running project builds a documented improvement record — useful for Joint Commission or Magnet review.
Clinical staff huddles
Daily huddle boards: safety events, operational metrics, team actions. Snap the huddle board after each session. The structured summary becomes the running operational log — and the pinned context for the next day's huddle.
Privacy & data handling
BoardSnap's VisionKit perspective correction runs entirely on-device — no whiteboard image leaves the phone during the scan step. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API over TLS. Do not use AI summarization for boards that display patient identifiers, PHI, or other HIPAA-protected information. BoardSnap is not a HIPAA Business Associate and does not execute BAAs. For clinical workflow design sessions that do not involve patient-specific data, BoardSnap operates without this restriction. When in doubt, capture the board without summarizing, or redact patient identifiers before snapping.
Frequently asked
Can I use BoardSnap in a clinical setting with HIPAA obligations?
BoardSnap is not HIPAA-compliant and does not execute BAAs. Do not use AI summarization on boards displaying PHI or patient identifiers. Most administrative, planning, and process-design whiteboard sessions don't involve PHI — for those, BoardSnap operates without restriction. The on-device VisionKit scan step does not transfer data externally.
Can BoardSnap read clinical workflow diagrams with complex swim lanes?
Yes. BoardSnap AI reads swim-lane diagrams, process flows, decision trees, and annotated pathway maps. It extracts the workflow structure in prose — useful as a documentation starting point, not a vector reproduction of the diagram.
We use lean and Six Sigma tools like fishbone diagrams and value stream maps. Does BoardSnap handle those?
Yes. Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams, process maps, and value stream maps read well. BoardSnap AI describes the structure — causes mapped to categories, process steps, waste identification annotations — in written form.
How do we share whiteboard summaries with clinical staff who weren't in the room?
Copy the summary text and paste it into Epic's documentation tools, your SharePoint or Teams environment, or email. BoardSnap produces clean text that moves anywhere.
Is there a mobile device management consideration for hospital IT?
BoardSnap is a standard App Store app. Hospital IT can evaluate it for MDM enrollment using the standard app vetting process. For clinical environments with PHI policies, note the HIPAA limitation above.
