ABSTRACT:
This white paper proposes a Patient Flow Logistics Coordination Model to address these challenges. By leveraging technology to provide a 'system aim' view and coordination of the patient flow process, effective discharges can begin upon patient admission; giving Case Managers and Social Workers the necessary tools to turn hand-offs into handshakes for improved throughput performance.
Effective discharges can begin upon patient admission by implementing a Patient Flow Logistics Coordination Model and leveraging the requisite technology to provide a 'system aim' view and coordination of the patient flow process. This gives Case Managers and Social Workers robust and sustainable workflow tools to turn hand-offs into handshakes for improved throughput performance in the hospital and in the post-hospital environment.
