[October 2025](https://support.wellifiy.com/en-au/knowledge-hub/product-release-notes?hsLang=en-au#october-2025) # 06 Oct 2025: ✨ Patient Groups – Enrol Patient in Patient Journey & Stage We’ve introduced powerful new automation linking **Patient Groups** with **Patient Journeys**, allowing Organisations to automatically enrol patients into the appropriate Journey and Stage based on their assigned Patient Group.  This creates a more structured and scalable onboarding and care progression workflow. --- #### ✨ What’s New ### 🧭 Assign a Journey & Stage at the Patient Group Level Within **Patient Groups**, Organisations can now: - Set a **Patient Journey** - Select a corresponding **Stage** - Edit the assigned Journey/Stage - Clear the Journey/Stage (return to no journey) --- ### ⚙️ Default State: No Journey By default, a Patient Group has: - ❌ No Journey assigned - ❌ No Stage assigned This ensures flexibility — Organisations only configure automation where required. --- ### 🔄 Activation-Based Logic (Important) Journey enrolment follows clear and intentional activation logic: #### 🕒 Patients Not Yet Invited - If a patient is assigned to a Patient Group - But is **not Invited** → They will **NOT** be enrolled into the associated Journey/Stage yet. #### ✅ When the Patient is Invited - Upon Invitation → The patient is automatically enrolled into the Journey and Stage associated with their Patient Group (if one is configured). #### 🔁 If aPatient Moves to a New Patient Group - If the new Patient Group has an associated Journey/Stage → The patient is automatically enrolled into that Journey/Stage. --- #### 💡 How It Helps ### 🏥 Structured Onboarding at Scale For Organisations running: - Treatment programs - EAP services - Hospital pathways - Residential admissions - Community care streams This ensures patients enter the correct structured workflow automatically — without manual Journey assignment. --- ### 🚀 Cleaner Operational Logic The activation rule ensures: - Patients are not prematurely triggered into workflows - Journeys only begin when care formally begins - Administrative setup can occur ahead of activation This supports intake workflows where patients may be created in the system prior to their official start date. --- ### 🔁 Smarter Group-Based Automation By linking Patient Groups to Journeys: - Groups define structure - Journeys define progression - Activation defines timing This reduces manual admin, supports consistency, and aligns with how Organisations structure care delivery. --- A foundational enhancement that strengthens automation across Patient Groups and Patient Journeys — helping Organisations scale structured care with clarity and control. 💙 -
