A unified overview of patient flow data, integrating information from inpatient, elective, emergency, and other compatible hospital systems, facilitates near real-time insight into capacity and demand, allowing for well-informed decisions regarding patient movement. The system incorporates electronic journey boards for both departments and wards, which enhance visibility of each patient's progression from admission to discharge. It also includes clinical task and referral management functionalities, and can be accessed via desktop, mobile devices, or touch screen journey boards. Historically, various hospital departments operated on separate patient systems, which hindered communication and created silos that resulted in inefficiencies. By delivering a consolidated source of real-time patient status information, the Patient Flow Manager equips hospital staff with operational insights across the institution. Moreover, with Patient Flow Manager, hospitals can seamlessly oversee the patient journey from admission through to discharge by integrating effortlessly with their existing systems, ultimately enhancing the overall efficiency of patient care. This integration not only improves communication between departments but also fosters a more coordinated and streamlined approach to patient management.
