HST Pathways Features

Surgery Center Management

HST Pathways simplifies surgery center operations by helping staff efficiently book procedures, assign rooms, and ensure equipment availability. Users can set reorder points for essential supplies and generate reports to avoid shortages or overstocking. The platform also helps surgery centers check claims for errors before submission to reduce denials and speed up reimbursements. With detailed financial reports and case costing tools, ASCs can gain better visibility into their performance, control costs, and improve overall profitability.

Patient Engagement

The software streamlines pre-surgical communication with an intuitive online pre-assessment tool. Care teams can create custom forms and set auto-alerts to flag specific patient responses that need review. Patients also receive a secure link via text or email to complete the form from any device. This reduces the need for manual calls, cuts down on cancellations and delays, and improves both patient safety and overall experience.

Scheduling And Communication

This feature allows surgery centers to share real-time operating room availability with physician practices. Practices can submit case requests online to ensure accurate bookings and fewer delays. The platform automatically notifies the care team of new, changed, or canceled cases, reducing the need for phone calls, emails, or faxes. This improves coordination, minimizes scheduling errors, and helps maximize case volume and operating room (OR) utilization.

Electronic Charting

HST Pathways simplifies charting with an intuitive interface that allows clinicians to preview appointment details, confirm patient identity, and manage multiple open charts with ease. Its ‘LiveEdit™’ technology enables multiple users to document in the same patient record simultaneously. The system offers real-time updates, task alerts, and automatic data-saving to ensure complete and accurate documentation. Clinicians can also access, sign, and complete charts remotely, which helps them fuel growth and deliver better patient care.

Patient Estimates

Surgery centers can use this feature to generate accurate, procedure-specific cost estimates based on each patient’s insurance coverage. It allows staff to easily review eligibility details and send estimates directly to patients via text or email. This proactive approach boosts transparency, improves patient satisfaction, and encourages pre-payments.

“Reliable tool”

Pros

Overall we had a great experience. The parts of HST we use are simple and moving through the system from one page to another is pretty basic and smooth.

Cons

Once in a while an employee will mention they can't log into HST and when I check, it turns out their account has been marked inactive.
