Hospital Patient Flow

Capacity across your system is transparent and shown in real-time. Monitor performance goals and staff productivity and quickly find opportunities for open beds across hospitals.

As soon as a patient is admitted, start planning for discharge using tools that help you address roadblocks and monitor discharge trends so that patients can go home sooner.

See predicted length of stay, admissions you can expect from the ED, tomorrow’s projected census, a patient’s likely destination after surgery, and more.

Patient flow and capacity information is visible and actionable for the whole organization. Nurses and unit coordinators know where to find their patients without logging into a separate system.

Coordinate patient movement between facilities and organizations with the full picture of which patients will be the best fit for your hospital. Providers from other organizations can start transfer requests in your community portal instead of having to pick up the phone.

Bed planners can act on outstanding requests and identify bottlenecks right away, without calling a unit for more information or logging into a separate system.
