Hospital Operations Change
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The severity adjusted average length of stay in hospitals serves as an effective benchmark of hospital operational efficiency. A higher LOS can greatly impact hospital resources and decrease functional capacity, while a lower LOS can translate to cost savings and clinical benefits.EMPATH has made great strides in the area of LOS improvement, seeing results as dramatic as an average of 5.6 average length of stay days reduced to 4.8 days with improved operational performance.
Our experienced professionals will work with your inpatient staff to help eliminate delays and miscues that keep patients in the hospital longer than necessary. Our technology systems support both the introduction of new changes as well as ensure sustainability once we leave. Bed capacity issues will be largely mitigated, staff and physician loyalty will increase and patient satisfaction will soar.
In this issue you will learn about key stepping stones on the road to true efficiency and reduced length of stay.
Best regards,
