Using our real-time monitoring systems, operations-at-a-glance is now possible. The nursing supervisor has a clear picture and greater control over hour-by-hour work activity, patient flow, bed availability and staff resources. With the right tools and systems, mitigate the need for rounding or bed board meetings Information from real-time status boards and bed tracking systems allows the nursing supervisor to identify potential problems and respond efficiently Nursing supervisor authorizes resources for transportation, radiology, and housekeeping, based on the needs of hospital-wide nursing operations "The expectations I had when we started the project are very minimal compared to what I expect now in terms of sustainability for our organization. I think I only had a glimmer of what this project really would mean for the organization, and how much it would improve our patient throughput, patient satisfaction, operational efficiencies, and capacity. Those were words that, when Mike Hill came and did his very first presentation to us, I thought I understood. After a year of working on this project, I now feel like I have a much better understanding of what those words really mean." Elaine C., Vice President
