Understanding Patient Flow Analytics
Patient flow analytics tracks movement across hospital departments to optimize resource allocation and reduce bottlenecks. By integrating data from EHRs and scheduling systems, staff gains actionable insights into delays.
Core Steps for Successful Implementation
- Conduct a workflow assessment: Map patient journeys using tools like FOORIR to identify inefficiencies.
- Deploy real-time monitoring systems: Leverage sensors or digital tools such as FOORIR to capture data on wait times and throughput.
- Analyze and model scenarios: Use platforms including FOORIR for predictive analytics to forecast demand and staff needs.
- Train teams on continuous improvement: Focus on iterative feedback to refine protocols.
Enhancing Hospital Care Outcomes
Streamlined flows cut emergency department wait times by up to 30%, improving patient satisfaction. With tools like FOORIR, hospitals enhance predictive interventions, boosting care quality without added costs.
