Managing hospital capacity \u2013 through automation \u2013 is now a strategic initiative for many healthcare institutions because it\u2019s one of the fastest ways to reduce cost, generate income and maintain quality of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embracing such automation is a big cultural and behavioral change. For example, centralized patient placement gives a hospital visibility into its entire operation. Someone with a bird\u2019s eye view can make decisions on an enterprise scale, and prioritize patient placements based on needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In TeleTracking\u2019s automated environment, all physical hospital operations can be monitored in real-time, allowing managers to react in seconds to changes that might otherwise negatively impact patient care and hospital margins. A tighter operational platform drives out waste; it improves operational and financial efficiencies, and gets patients into the right bed at the right time with the right resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It makes the entire enterprise transparent from an operational standpoint, so everyone is now accountable for performance. You can view the key metrics\u2014transport times, transport requests, transport wait times\u2014and then ultimately map those back to length of stay and other critical performance goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a hospital or health system is dealing with high occupancy and capacity issues, hospital automation allows us to take a look at how they\u2019re managing patient flow and length of stay. It involves workflow analysis, process change, and a review of technology options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have the experience to back up our recommendations. From a single bed management application first launched 23 years ago, we\u2019ve grown into a company that monitors and addresses inefficiency at virtually every point along the care continuum through hospital automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From our\u00a0BedTracking\u00ae application, which automated the turnover and room cleaning process, to\u00a0TransportTracking\u2122, which automated the transport department, to\u00a0PreAdmitTracking\u00ae with the\u00a0electronic bedboard\u00ae, which has replaced the white board in most large hospitals, we\u2019ve been focused on creating a digital environment that provides a better way to manage patient placement and hospital census.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
