The Patient Flow Challenges Assessment

With your participation, the annual Patient Flow Challenges Assessment (PFCA) establishes a benchmark for the challenges hospitals encounter in patient throughput and capacity management. In a value-based environment, health care organizations must keep improving patient flow by identifying challenges within the root causes of data visibility, communication, and patient engagement. Technology that automates and quantifies processes and best practices help health care organizations address these root causes.

Results of the PFCA provide you and your peers insight into not only the challenges but potential solutions to patient flow issues across eight key stages. Assessment results are compiled and analyzed in the Patient Flow Challenges Report, which drives AHA Solutions' identification of new products and services and its development of educational programs that foster operational excellence in hospitals.

Your time is valuable—so is your voice. Share them both in the 2012 PFCA. The survey is open now through October 1.
