Key Factors for Delivering Quality Care Progression and Positive Patient Outcomes
The path to consistent, quality patient care progression begins with setting and meeting accurate length of stay targets, but it doesn’t stop there. Hospitals and health systems often do not establish and follow a plan for ensuring the timely, quality progression of each patient, and they often lack enterprise visibility to understand the bottlenecks which prevent efficient patient flow and progression. This results in delays which prolong length of stay, increase costs, frustrate patients and caregivers, and increase the possibility of preventable harm. Solving this problem requires putting the right people, processes, and technology in place to ensure positive outcomes for patients and staff alike.
During this 60-minute online event, these senior healthcare leaders will share their own experiences with the following:
- Focusing care teams on length of stay targets from the point of admission
- Establishing an operational command center to create a “real-time health system” which proactively drives patient progression at the enterprise level
- Using progression plans to keep individual patients on track in their stay and prevent delays
- Aligning the care team on patient status, goals, and barriers through daily progression huddles
