Case Study: Improving Growth & Efficiency at the Largest U.S. Health System
Every health system is looking for ways to grow and create new revenue streams. But the question is how?
Health systems are losing millions of dollars in potential revenue by declining transfers just because a facility ‘appears’ full. Those patients go to other health systems and are difficult to get back.
But do you really know how to improve your capacity and reduce that leakage?
True growth comes from within- by better managing the resources you already have, not spending millions to add more. Read how the largest for-profit health system in the U.S. found success.
Challenge
The largest for-profit operator of health care facilities in the U.S. relied on a fragmented set of technologies to manage operations, patient transfers, and placement workflows that was becoming increasingly unsustainable. The solutions in place did not support an integrated end to-end workflow for transfers or bed management, and there was no source of truth for staffed bed capacity for daily operational use or emergency response. In addition, the ability to accept inbound transfers had diminished due to poor integration and limited bed visibility.
