Inefficient patient flow is challenging many hospitals, causing disruption in discharge, lower patient satisfaction scores and negatively impacting reimbursements and the bottom line. Streamlining patient flow is crucial to the financial viability of health care organizations.

To help gain efficiencies and increase revenue, it is imperative your health care organization has a tool in place to proactively detect and manage financial outliers and high-impact patients. These outliers include 30-day readmissions, patients exceeding their reimbursed length of stay, observation status patients and patients occupying higher acuity beds than necessary.

This webinar discusses how gaining visibility into what is happening throughout the “house” will allow hospital executives to work towards discharge at the time of admission by maximizing the utility of each bed, tracking length of stay to the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) in real time and increasing staff efficiency by employing a digital tool.

You Will Learn:

  • How to plan for discharge upon admission
  • How to identify process and workflow opportunities to gain efficiencies
  • How understanding what the coded length of stay is for each Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) will allow your care team to proactively prepare for discharge
  • Why providing health leaders with an executive dashboard that includes the status of the patient population, bed availability, payor mix and patient status will help them make informed decisions
