Often reliant on latent ADT information or nursing documentation to complete a discharge, inefficiencies in patient flow can reduce available bed capacity by as much as 20%. Significant delays in bed turnover results in lost bed-time, and often times leaves a bed open and dirty for hours past the actual time a patient leaves the room. While many hospitals have discharge processes like patient transport departments in place to improve efficiencies of a patient discharge, not all patients are moved by transport staff. Those cases often are the ones not properly discharged from the system resulting in missed opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[218,219],"tags":[223,224,227,225,221,231],"mediatype":[251],"keyword":[],"class_list":["post-5626","resources","type-resources","status-publish","hentry","category-patient-discharge-en-gb","category-patient-flow-experts-en-gb","tag-administration-en-gb","tag-clinician-en-gb","tag-exectutive-en-gb","tag-it-is-en-gb","tag-operations-en-gb","tag-other-en-gb","mediatype-datasheet"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
