Among the many use cases for AI, improving error reporting and error analysis are among the most important. This especially holds true for capturing those near misses. However, the change management associated with these improved processes cannot be overlooked.

Glad to see the attention being paid to the canary in the coal mine that is boarding. Beyond the important interventions listed below (which are hard enough to operationalize!) there are additional ones that allow a systems AND patient-centered approach: 🏥 Admitting the right patient to the right hospital in your system 🧿 Triaging the "wait list" properly 🚑 Return transfers (when appropriate) 🪃 Transferring in for the procedure and then immediately back 🦽 Reducing "outpatients in beds" This is such tough work but incredibly rewarding when it goes well. Reach out if a conversation would be helpful. https://lnkd.in/gK3ZX9n4

https://lnkd.in/e7ZiwP5G Informative Forbes article on #Hospital #Emergency Department (ED) #Boarding. Useful info. on why this continues to be a major #healthcare issue and recent consideration for regulatory reform, reporting, penalties and incentives. Very insightful recommendations on what can be done below. Happy to share how GE HealthCare Command Center clients have been able to reduce ED Boarding and address many of these initiatives with our Hospital Operations platform. 👩⚕️ Expanding inpatient staffing to ensure that available beds can be used. 🛌 Optimizing hospital workflows to reduce inefficiencies, particularly as patients move between departments (e.g. from the ED to inpatient floors). An example of this is the “no delay RN report” which streamlines the handoff between the ED and floor. ⏳ Improving hospital discharge processes to reduce delays in moving patients out of the hospital. 📅 Smoothing the elective surgical schedule throughout the week and even weekend to reduce the variation in demand for inpatient beds. 🏥 Increasing partnerships with skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities to free up inpatient beds faster. 👀 Utilizing observation units more effectively to manage patients who don’t require full inpatient admission. 📈 Leveraging AI and real-time data analytics to optimize hospital bed management and help predict and address patient flow bottlenecks. https://lnkd.in/e7ZiwP5G

Upskilling some residents helped upskill me too!
Founder, Improvement Solutions, LLC | Physician consultant and speaker on care transformation
During a workshop I led last week with some Internal Medicine residents on AI in healthcare, below is the word cloud they generated. ⚖️ Amazing how we hold both very positive and very negative views about AI in our field right now. 💕 Love the conversation about mistakes happening within a Slido response! 😊 Working with these early practitioners was a blessing. They are not encumbered by the past. 💥 It was also a challenge, as they don't know the past (such as searching for the physical chart to write an order). ⁉️ Thoughts from others about the reactions? Were they what you expected? (Sharing ☁️ with permission)
