Patient Care Throughput

 

The Challenge: Satisfying Patients, Providers and Reaching Improved Financial Performance

 

By finding ways to transform and optimize workflow processes, a hospital can have an improved positive impact while increasing patient, staff and provider satisfaction.

 

Few hospital areas are designed to achieve optimal flow of patients, including the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, and operating rooms and their related pre- and post-care areas creating major bottlenecks. These bottlenecks often result in unpredictable diversions, increased patient wait time, housing inpatients in ED, and longer length of stays.

 

Identifying that there is a problem is the first step. Then it’s necessary to have the right clinical and operational staff to determine the why and the resolution – all the while assuring that all quality and regulatory requirements are met.
