Patient flow initiatives slash average LOS
Abstract
By combining several patient flow initiatives at once, you can generate better results, as each improvement complements the others: A rapid admit unit allows your staff to see a greater number of patients. Bed tracking system complements rapid admit unit by showing availabilities and balancing bed usage in the units. Bedside admission helps increase the speed at which a bed assignment can be made.
