[The aTouchAway App - Care Pathways](https://info.aetonix.com/resources-for-managers?hsLang=en#the-atouchaway-app-care-pathways) # Starting a Pathway from the aTouchAway® App ## Pathways contain predetermined scheduled events for gathering data from your patients. If your organization is using a Pathway, the Pathway can be started from the aTouchAway® Dashboards or from a Patient Manager's aTouchAway® App. To start or stop a Pathway, and to view Pathway data, you must be assigned as a manager for the patient.  For more information about assigning managers see [Assigning Direct Patient Managers.](https://info.aetonix.com/how-do-i-assign-patients-to-staff?hsLang=en)   To start a Pathway, select the patient from the **Your Managed Patients** list to view the patient's profile.  Then select ***Pathway***.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-08-47-7810-PM.png?width=500&height=426&name=image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-08-47-7810-PM.png) Click on ***+Start a new Pathway***. ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-08-25-6840-PM.png?width=500&height=196&name=image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-08-25-6840-PM.png) Choose your Pathway from the drop-down menu. ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-00-28-0313-PM.png?width=500&height=265&name=image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-00-28-0313-PM.png) Fill in the Pathway details: **![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-05-00-2893-PM.png?width=600&height=437&name=image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-05-00-2893-PM.png)** **Pathway Label**:  This label will appear on any screens that display in the patient's aTouchAway® App.  This label is optional. **Pathway Actors**:  Adding your Care Team members will give them access to the Pathway data in their aTouchAway® App.  Alerts related to the Pathway will show up in their aTouchAway® App and Dashboards.  - Include one or more Patient Groups from the dropdown field to apply Patient Group managers and permissions - Manager Actors (who are patient managers) will appear in the drop-down list.  Use this field to add specific managers as opposed to managers connected through the Patient Group settings.  If your actor is not on the list, be sure to add them as a manager. You can add additional Pathway Actors by clicking on the ***+Add*** button.  To remove an Actor who has already been added, click the X to the right of the dropdown menu field. ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2023-02-23-21-9675-PM.png?width=688&height=88&name=image-png-Mar-14-2023-02-23-21-9675-PM.png) **Demo Mode**:  Putting the Pathway in demo mode allows you to preview what the patient will see in their app.  Demo mode shortens the day to a few minutes (details are shown on the screen when you set the mode).  Ensure that you turn demo mode off for actual patient monitoring. **Setting the time for questionnaires to appear:**  Choose the time of day that Pathway specific questionnaires should appear on the patient's aTouchAway® App.  These questionnaires will include predetermined questions and prompts to take Pathway specific vitals. **Vitals Entry Mode**:  Choose whether you want the patient to add their vitals through manual entry or by using a paired device. The remaining Pathway details will be unique to the Pathway you are using.  You may be asked to set thresholds, select the health data that you'd like to collect, or set other items pertinent to your patient's care.   ![workflow details aTouchAway](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/workflow%20details%20aTouchAway.png?width=550&name=workflow%20details%20aTouchAway.png) Once you've entered all the details, click ***Save***.  This will start the Pathway for the patient.   ![SAVE workflow details aTouchAway](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SAVE%20workflow%20details%20aTouchAway.png?width=550&name=SAVE%20workflow%20details%20aTouchAway.png) The Pathway will now appear on the patient's Pathway page under **Ongoing Pathway*****.*** ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-09-15-0103-PM.png?width=500&height=170&name=image-png-Jul-23-2024-08-09-15-0103-PM.png)   -
