If it could work in a hotel, perhaps it could also work in a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u2018patient flow\u2019 was coined by former HHS Secretary&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Donald_Berwick\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Berwick<\/a>, who was among the first healthcare experts to link the quality of care to the management of patient flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patient flow used to be about getting the patient from point A to point B.&nbsp; However, a typical hospital stay covers an entire alphabet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patient flow is now part of a much larger process designed to increase operational efficiency so that patients get to the right treatment at the right time with the right resources.&nbsp; We call that Healthcare Operations Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of enterprise visibility helps hospitals improve the way work gets done.&nbsp; It recognizes that optimizing capacity and throughput&nbsp; requires a synchronized&nbsp; system of monitoring and managing workflows that support patient treatment.&nbsp; These workflows include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>admissions and transfers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>operating room throughput<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>staffing for demand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>infection tracking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hand washing compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>etc\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By taking the time lag out of daily operations, operational management on an enterprise scale improves finances by saving hours and hours of wasted time.&nbsp; It also improves outcomes by ensuring that patients get the level of care they need when they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TeleTracking has built the operational backbone, or nerve center, of hospital operations with a software platform that integrates all of our solutions.&nbsp; By combining patient flow, RTLS and business analytics software, leadership teams have the ability to run their hospitals in absolute real time, with immediate transparency into virtually every daily function so they can be optimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This online \u201cmotion picture\u201d or Command Center was recently depicted at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carilionclinic.org\/hospitals\/carilion-roanoke-memorial-hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carilion Clinic in Roanoke, VA<\/a>.\u00a0 Their state of the art Transfer and Communications Center allows them to track virtually all functions within their enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carilion Clinic Mission Control Center Documentary | TeleTracking | Customer Success\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTHi3a4_0Ks?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
