Deliver the Right Care, in the Right Setting, at the Right Time

The High Stakes of Suboptimal Flow
Optimizing patient flow throughout the hospital is essential to ensuring safe, high-quality, patient-centered care and capacity for growing and aging populations. Providing timely access to appropriate sites of care and optimizing hospital flow are critical levers that increase value for patients, clinicians, and health care systems. Patient and clinician experience is strongly influenced by the efficiency and effectiveness of care reflective of hospital flow.
Poorly managed flow has critical implications, such as:
- Delaying treatments
- Failing to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time
- Putting patients at risk for potential harm and undesired outcomes
- Increasing the burden on clinicians and contributing to moral distress
Diversions, long waits, and delays in the emergency department (ED) are a hospital-wide issue, not solely an ED issue. Waits are often the result of ED beds being occupied by patients waiting for admission to the hospital (known as boarding). Lack of inpatient capacity can also result in patients boarding in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and being managed in "off-service" units.
While many hospital leaders are aware of the problem, they may struggle with developing the strategies needed to address these complex issues.
Agenda
This program consists of 10 live virtual sessions from 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM ET.
Participants must attend all live sessions to receive a certificate of completion and credits for this program.
Continuing Education
In support of improving patient care, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the health care team.
Continuing education credits for this program are still being finalized and will be updated shortly.
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement designates this blended learning activity for a maximum of 30 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. This activity may also be applicable for other professions that accept AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
As a result of this program, attendees will be able to:
- Assess the current state of patient flow and determine major opportunities for improvement.
- Analyze organizational capability, change concepts, and successful interventions for creating a sustainable system for system-wide hospital flow.
- Identify the variety of hospital-wide and community strategies and approaches needed to deliver the right care in the right place and at the right time.
