At a time when Emergency Departments are overcrowded and the number of uninsured patients is at an all-time high, effective patient throughput is essential to managing margins. Orchestration of “Centers of Excellence” resources from admission through discharge can provide more efficient length of stay (LOS) and post-hospital care, directly impacting hospital capacity management, revenue, and patient satisfaction. We offer a data-driven process to build capacity and improve throughput in target areas, such as the ED, OR/Perioperative, Diagnostics, ICU, and Medical/Surgical units.  The approach includes:

• Top 50 DRG analysis to identify throughput/LOS opportunities. Benchmark to market competitors and best practice, then creating physician-specific reports to uncover trends affecting patient management and LOS. 
• Quantification of specific opportunities for LOS improvement by department. 
• A proven process to engage and include key physician players into the process, including admitting, attending, and specialty physicians
• Leadership and medical staff interviews to develop a gap analysis between current and desired performance
• Lean Six Sigma processes to facilitate change and maintain gains
• Integration with existing hospital technology to measure and monitor
