Default please translate this does not make sense!

To reduce this inherent pulse to downstream clinical responsibilities we will teach priority patterns of care.

Without context = To reduce this pattern of lowering clinical responsibilities, we will teach you about the important patterns of care.

It is an appalling sentence!

As I try to make heads or tails of this:

There is a movement towards giving more and more clinical responsibility to junior staff. One way to deal with this and reduce this flow, is to say, yes, they can have more to do and more responsibility ...BUT we will teach how cases should be prioritized so that junior staff are taking responsibility for and treating more cases that are within their competence, and high priority patients are maintained for care by senior staff.

I hope lives are not resting on your response to this load of intellectualized gibberish.
