Where Sarthi earns its keepFive workflows
  • No. 01

    PFT and bronch scheduling

    Before

    Pulmonary function tests, sleep consults, and bronchoscopies get scheduled across three calendars by memory. Prep instructions go out inconsistently, and no-show rates climb.

    With Sarthi

    Sarthi sequences PFTs, sleep studies, and procedural visits by clinical urgency, pushes the right prep the right number of days out, and confirms until the patient lands.

  • No. 02

    Sleep study prior authorizations

    Before

    Home sleep test vs. attended polysomnography auths each come with their own payer logic. Staff retype the same clinical story into five different portals.

    With Sarthi

    Sarthi reads the chart, picks the right study type against the current payer policy, submits the auth, and appeals the denials that come back for documentation — not medical necessity.

  • No. 03

    CPAP compliance and resupply

    Before

    Ninety-day compliance windows slip past unreviewed. Resupply cadence gets lost. Downstream revenue walks out the door along with the patient’s adherence.

    With Sarthi

    Sarthi pulls usage data from the DME, tracks compliance windows, schedules mask and supply refills on time, and flags patients falling out of adherence for a real conversation.

  • No. 04

    Chronic care — COPD, asthma, ILD

    Before

    Annual spirometry, GOLD staging updates, inhaler technique re-reviews — the kind of cadence that keeps a CHF-adjacent COPD patient out of the ED — lives in a staff member’s head.

    With Sarthi

    Sarthi runs the disease-specific cadence for your chronic population, queues the right outreach, and lets a clinician intervene when the data says now.

  • No. 05

    Referral intake and records triage

    Before

    PCP referrals arrive with incomplete records. Hospital discharges show up on fax. Someone opens the envelope days later.

    With Sarthi

    Sarthi ingests the inbound, extracts the relevant history, and schedules by clinical urgency — the shortness-of-breath work-up moves before the follow-up cough.

Works with your stack

We meet your practice where it lives.

Sarthi integrates with the EHRs pulmonology practices actually use — Epic, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Practice Fusion — plus the sleep-lab, PFT, and DME systems that sit alongside them.

No rip-and-replace. No two-year implementation. A two-week observation phase, then a narrow rollout on the workflow that hurts most.

Next step

Let’s walk through a Tuesday at your practice, handled.

Thirty minutes. A shared screen. We’ll show you a pulmonology day — intake, auths, PFT and sleep scheduling, CPAP compliance, coding — run end-to-end by Sarthi, and we’ll answer any question you have about where the hand-offs to a clinician live.
