About the Program
Join us on November 7 at Maggiano’s in Buckhead for our in-person lunch and learn program, “Improving the Bottom Line by Optimizing Patient Throughput.” The program has been approved for 1.5 hours of ACHE In-Person Education credit.
Effective patient throughput is a challenge for most organizations even though a sound program can significantly affect operational costs, service capacity, and the patient experience. Creating good patient throughput includes strategies that closely align organizational structures, processes, and people to initiate discharge execution at the time of admission.
Bringing these complex systems together requires an ongoing transdisciplinary approach to plan, manage, and monitor each area’s metrics such as length of stay, patient holding and emergency department left without being seen, and patient satisfaction. The results of a sound program may include increased bed capacity, improved revenue, and reduced costs. This discussion will explore strategies to reduce excess inpatient days and create bed capacity through multiple interlocking clinical initiatives.
Panelists Will Discuss:
Some of the questions our panelists will cover include:
- How can you leverage hospitalists to expedite discharges?
- How do you create bed capacity without adding beds?
- What strategies have you used at your organization to reduce practice variation?
- What strategies have you used to reduce bottlenecks in the ED, OR, and PACU?
- What financial and quality benefits have you been able to quantify?
- What clinical outcomes and service measures have you been able to impact?
