Abstract

Techniques for adapting workflows based on time to respond are provided. An electronic indication that a trigger has been detected by a sensor is received. The workflow server is configured to execute an action in a workflow in response to the trigger. An alert is sent to a device associated with a user to request a response from the user. Reception of the response is the action in the workflow. The response from the user is received. It is detected that a current response time for the trigger exceeds a threshold response time. A pattern that indicates response times for triggers of the trigger type recurrently exceed the threshold response time is detected. A proposed modification to the workflow or to a standard operating procedure (SOP) of an entity is generated. An electronic message is sent to a system administrator that recommends implementing the proposed modification.
