7 Tips to Improve Patient Flow in Hospitals
The article discusses how hospitals can enhance patient flow—the efficient movement of patients from arrival to discharge—by leveraging IoT technologies and strategies such as real-time location systems integrated with electronic health records, which reduce wait times, improve care quality, decrease costs, and increase staff satisfaction, exemplified by Oregon Medical Group's successful implementation of CenTrak's patient flow software to optimize workflow despite challenging facility layouts.
CenTrak Introduces Cloud-Based Workflow Healthcare Software
CenTrak has introduced WorkflowRT, a scalable cloud-based SaaS platform leveraging RTLS and location sensors to automate healthcare workflows by reducing manual documentation, enabling real-time patient tracking, self check-in, automated family updates, and staff alerts, thereby improving patient flow metrics, reducing wait times, increasing care time, and enhancing satisfaction across various healthcare settings.
How EMR and RTLS Impact Patient Flow
Integrating electronic medical records (EMRs) with real-time location systems (RTLS) enhances patient flow by enabling instant access to comprehensive patient data and location, improving communication, reducing wait times, lowering costs, and addressing challenges like overcrowding and staff shortages to optimize clinical workflows and patient satisfaction.
Automated Clinical Workflow Solutions for Healthcare Facilities
CenTrak's Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) automate clinical workflows in healthcare facilities by providing continuous, real-time visibility of patients, staff, and equipment, reducing non-value added time, preventing bottlenecks, enhancing situational awareness, and improving patient satisfaction across various care settings with customizable workflow templates.
Transform The Outpatient Experience
Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute implemented CenTrak's Clinical-Grade Real-Time Location System to enhance outpatient experiences by optimizing patient flow, reducing wait times, improving safety and satisfaction, and increasing treatment capacity through better clinical workflow visibility and data.
Optimize Patient Flow with Real-Time Location Data
Optimizing patient flow requires analyzing all workflow steps beyond just EHR data, as EHR often misses critical wait times and real-time insights, but implementing Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) that track patients via badges can automatically capture comprehensive, real-time throughput data from arrival to discharge, enabling immediate visibility and actionable improvements in healthcare settings.
