SUMMARY:Thursday August 20 Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:"Improving the Bottom Line by Optimizing Patient Throughput"\nAugust 20\, 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM atMaggiano’s Atlanta\nRegistration Now Open\nAugust 20 Lunch and Learn Approved for 1.5 Hours of ACHE In-Person Education Credit!\n \nAbout the ProgramJoin us on August 20 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. \nEffective patient throughput is a challenge for most organizations even though a sound program can significantly affect operational costs\, service capacity\, and 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. \nBringing 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\, emergency department left without being seen\, and patient satisfaction. 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. \nSome of the topics and questions covered include: \n\nHow can you leverage hospitalists to expedite discharges?\nHow do you address restructuring Care Management to reduce length of stay?\nHow do you create bed capacity without adding beds?\nWhat strategies have you used at your organization to reduce practice variation?\nWhat strategies have you used to reduce bottlenecks in the ED\, OR\, and PACU?\nWhat financial and quality benefits have you been able to quantify?\nWhat clinical outcomes and service measures have you been able to impact?\n\nModerator: \nOur August 20 program will be held at Maggiano’s in Buckhead. \nRegister NowNetworking TimeRegistration opens at 11:30 AM\, and we will have 30 minutes of networking time before and after the program\, with plenty of time for questions and answers during the program.
