Now, transport takes a patient out and goes straight to the ER to get the next patient. Because they’ve already communicated with housekeeping, they know the bed will be available when they return. That’s reduced our room changeover time from four hours to less than 45 minutes.

The Opus Approach

patient_flow-inset3By deliberately documenting every step of patient flow — from initial intake though discharge — Opus Solutions trains clients to map where inefficiencies and waste occur. Front line teams, empowered by leadership, systematically remove the bottlenecks, minimizing delays, improving access and information flow to providers. Empowering staff results in more satisfied patients and, in fact, levels of care improve.
