Imagine the success of patient placement with this system! "Three Beds Ahead" system is managed by the charge nurse Real-time monitoring tools allow staff to see beds available in any unit at any time Backup units and bed flexibility provide additional resources Room turnover is the last step of patient discharge, not the first step of the next patient's admission "We're now part of a bigger goal, and part of a team. It used to be, 'I'm on this unit, you're on this unit; you're in that department...' Now we're all working for a common goal together." Shirley R., Assistant Nurse Manager, Inpatient Unit
