Implementation example
Somnara models a focused care pathway in its pilot phase.
Somnara is a sleep-medicine service from Ontara Health GmbH and is currently in a pilot and evaluation phase. The example shows how a clearly defined pathway translates into patient, practice and network operations.
A care pathway for sleep medicine
The implementation example focuses on obstructive sleep apnoea. It models the journey from an initial risk assessment through medical stages to therapy supported through telemedicine.
Connect patient and practice workflows
The modelled process connects the steps that patients and practice teams work through together.
- Pre-anamnesis and patient profile
- Appointment and video consultation
- Anamnesis, diagnosis, findings and physician letter
Include network operations
The example also includes network operations. Practices are created, reviewed and enabled for routing. Requests can be assigned by availability, speciality and region, then escalated when response deadlines are exceeded.
Clear responsibilities
Diagnosis and treatment decisions remain with the physicians in the partner practices. Somnara provides the technical infrastructure for the care pathway.
FAQ
How are Ontara Health and Somnara connected?
Ontara Health GmbH is the company behind both brands. Somnara is currently in a pilot and evaluation phase and serves as an Ontara implementation example for a focused care pathway.
What does the implementation example show?
It shows how a defined care pathway can place patient, practice and network workflows in one structure. It does not make a claim about nationwide rollout or treatment outcomes.
Can the process be transferred unchanged to another network?
Not by default. Every network has different sites, systems and workflows, so implementation begins with its own on-site assessment.
