Will Folk<\/a>, Assistant Director of Nursing, Patient Logistics, at Huntington Hospital<\/a> [part of Northwell Health<\/a>] in Huntington, NY, shares how through extensive research he was able to create a patient throughput improvement plan that utilized a pull methodology to improve the RN handoff process\u2015and consequently patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You\u2019ll Learn in Today\u2019s Episode:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • With the pull methodology approach, accountability starts at the top and cascades down to all other employees. Ownership is on the receiving unit to \u201cpull\u201d up the patient instead of the patient being \u201cpushed.\u201d This shift in process means all the performance metrics are tied to the receiving units instead of the sending units.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In two short months, the hand-off times between nursing units decreased by 30 minutes. Both the sending and receiving units have commented on how much interactions between the two have improved.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unit performance is shared at a monthly throughput meeting and metrics are also shared with the executive team on a daily basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ready-to-Move data points show the time metrics of the patient moving through the process\u2014from physician orders to bed availability, to bed cleans, to bed assignment, to the bed being occupied. Another important benefit of Ready-to-Move is that it mentally prepares the sending area and the sending nurse to have their patient ready\u2014as well as connecting the ability of the bed assignment team and the patient logistics team to align their processes to maximize the effectiveness of the technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5453,"template":"","categories":[226,229,220],"tags":[223,224],"mediatype":[250],"keyword":[],"class_list":["post-5489","resources","type-resources","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-client-success-en-gb","category-hospital-command-center-en-gb","category-patient-throughput-en-gb","tag-administration-en-gb","tag-clinician-en-gb","mediatype-podcast"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPull Methodology\u2015 and Support from the Top\u2015Improves Patient Throughput at Huntington Hospital -
