  • Event Time: Noon Central

In this webinar, learn the implications of inefficient patient flow both from a cost and care perspective. You’ll acquire the necessary steps to improve patient flow and understand key issues such as 30-day readmissions, reimbursements, The Joint Commission’s patient-flow requirements and more. Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s patient-flow improvements will be used as a real-life example for best practices and as a basis to understand the important questions that hospitals must consider with regard to patient flow.

Discussion will include the importance of combining process and workflow redesign, performance improvement initiatives and behavioral modifications with bed management and throughput technologies to optimize patient flow and efficiency and meet The Joint Commission standards. In addition, learn how to protect your hospital’s bottom line and sustainability by improving the flow of at-risk, high-impact patients, such as through effectively managing length of stay and preventing overages. Finally, we’ll review key performance indicators (KPIs) and measurements that facilities should leverage so they are using real data to make decisions. At Beaufort Memorial Hospital, using KPIs and heightening patient flow visibility increased accountability and led to a positive change culturally across all levels of staff. Learn how everyone began proactively managing all elements associated with patient flow for improved care and financial performance.

You Will Learn to:

  • Distinguish factors that affect patient flow and how they can affect the organization’s financial performance and quality of care
  • Summarize The Joint Commission’s patient-flow requirements and steps hospitals can take to comply
  • Analyze and identify process and patient-flow issues, including 30-day readmissions and approved length of stay overages
