Improving Patient Flow in Cardiology
To avoid bottlenecks and blockages in the system due to increased demand on the service
- To have an empty bed when you need it
- Three approaches
- Limiting the demand on the service
- Secondary prevention (CR)
- Less non-elective re-admission (29-52% of MI patients are non-electively re-admitted)
- More beds available
- Less non-elective re-admission (29-52% of MI patients are non-electively re-admitted)
- Primary Prevention
- Less need for admission
- More beds available
- Better Flow
- More beds available
- Less need for admission
- Secondary prevention (CR)
- Increasing Resources to accommodate more patients
- More beds created to accommodate increased demand
- More beds available
- Better Flow
- More beds available
- More beds created to accommodate increased demand
- Improving the utilization of current resources
- Continuous effort (Quality Improvement)
- Adopting more efficient techniques
- Example: Day case PCI and Staged PCI
- Shorter hospital stay means more beds available
- Better Flow
- Shorter hospital stay means more beds available
- Example: Day case PCI and Staged PCI
- Adopting more efficient techniques
- Continuous effort (Quality Improvement)
- Limiting the demand on the service
- Three approaches
- To have an empty bed when you need it
