Harnessing AI for Smarter Patient Flow

As hospitals and health systems face increasing pressure from capacity constraints, many are being forced to turn away patients while struggling to meet revenue and profitability goals. Inefficient patient flow management not only reduces revenue opportunities but also leads to delays in care and adds unnecessary costs. Addressing these issues requires a transformation in how healthcare organizations manage patient movement through the acute care journey – this is where intelligent and AI-enabled technology comes into play.Healthcare is changing, and traditional methods of managing patient flow and throughput are no longer sufficient. Hospitals often rely on siloed electronic health records (EHRs) and manual processes that lack the necessary insights to optimize patient flow.
