	Emergency Services Door to Doc in 30 Minutes Test Results in 40 Minutes No Diversion, No Boarding Seamless Admission Process Charge Nurse In Charge! Inpatient Services Perioperative Services What We Know Works Inpatient Bed Assignment to Patient Bed Arrival from ED		Seamless Admission Process The admission process begins with a "heads up," sixty minutes prior to patient departure from the ED. This allows time to establish a ready room and secure transportation. Even in hospitals with bed tracking systems, patients may wait for hours to be moved to an inpatient floor. We transform this wait time into a matter of minutes. The receiving unit is adequately prepared to "pull" the patient, creating a seamless hand-off and smooth transition from ED to inpatient care. Our proven processes increase throughput as well as bed capacity, all without capital expenditures. 60 minute "heads up" prior to patient departure from the ED 4 minute bed request to bed assignment 20 minute admit order to transportation 25 minute admit order to patient departure Real-time transparency of information across the organization facilitates interdepartmental cooperation Interlocking accountability results in optimally efficient patient care "What this project has allowed us to do is to bring people from other departments together to solve problems that are really common problems."
