2007 National Survey on Patient Throughput and Capacity Challenges
StatCom, November 1, 2007
This survey was designed to capture candid responses of U.S. healthcare executives on issues facing their facilities regarding patient throughput, bed occupancy and length of stay. Nearly three-fifths surveyed said their facilities did not have the ability to track patients continuously and over half rated the efficiency of their facility's bed-turn process as poor or fair. The majority said they have incorporated process improvements, but half said they have not incorporated a patient flow system despite ranking patient flow systems as having the greatest potential to improve patient throughput.
