Getting Patients Out of the Acute Care Journey
Problem
Delays to discharge
Discharge delays bring unnecessary costs
Discharge delays stemming from unwieldy transitions to post-acute care providers result in throughput bottlenecks across the patient journey.
The adverse impacts are far-reaching. Besides frustrating patients, family members, and caregivers, discharge bottlenecks can reduce quality of care and limit the health system’s ability to admit new patients, negatively affecting the organization’s financial performance.
Address areas of the acute care journey that work for you.
Addressing Your Challenges
Discharge Planning
Too often patients are handed off for discharge at the last minute, forcing reactive discharge planning and unnecessary delays arranging post-acute care.
You need real-time visibility to progress patients, and intelligence to reduce the time needed to coordinate care. See your patients, order statuses, barriers, and discharge requirements, so you can take actions earlier to avoid delays.
Addressing Your Challenges
Patient Placement
Arranging post-acute care can be difficult. Bottlenecks aligning the right care can decrease outcomes and the risk of readmission, leaving patients dissatisfied and stuck occupying beds other acute patients need.
You need a solution with automated placement steps to match patients with the best care settings and services. ABOUT intelligent solutions and best practice workflows allow you to arrange all care facilities, services, and transportation in a single platform, and swiftly open up beds in your hospitals.
