Video Breakdown

  • Sharp’s patient flow goals included finding ways to move patients through the system more efficiently, maximizing the use of technology, and using real-time data to drive decision making.
  • Sharp was also focused on asset management—making it easier to find the right asset for the right patient, while also ensuring that too many or too few of any asset isn’t purchased.
  • Sharp was faced with not knowing what was going on at each hospital—and since they didn’t know, the inclination was to say no to incoming patients.
  • The implementation of their Centralized Patient Placement Center has been successful at getting patients in, decreasing wait times, and improving discharge efficiency.
