Workflow Bottlenecks Impacting Patient Care

Without real-time visibility, healthcare facilities struggle with inefficient processes that frustrate patients and exhaust staff

Invisible Patient Status

Staff manually update patient locations and status. Providers waste time calling around asking "Where is my patient?" or "Are they ready?" Creates delays and frustration.

🔍

Provider Searching for Patients

"Has my patient arrived?" "Where did they go?" Doctors and nurses spend 15-20 minutes per patient searching for them instead of providing care.

📋

Manual Documentation Burden

Staff manually document patient arrival, rooming time, provider entry, discharge. Time-consuming, error-prone, and takes nurses away from patient care.

😤

Family Anxiety & Complaints

Families wait without updates. "How much longer?" "What's happening?" Staff make repeated status calls that interrupt workflow. Low HCAHPS scores.

🚧

Hidden Bottlenecks

Where do delays actually occur? Admissions? Triage? Imaging? Lab? Without data, you're guessing where to improve processes.

💼

Poor Resource Utilization

Can't predict when rooms will be available. Scheduling is inefficient, leaving providers idle while patients wait. Revenue opportunities lost due to poor throughput.

Data-Driven Insights for Continuous Improvement

Transform workflow data into actionable insights that drive operational excellence

📊 Comprehensive Analytics

Bottleneck Identification

Visualize where patients spend the most time. Is it triage? Registration? Waiting for lab results? Provider availability? Data reveals the truth.

Example: "Patients spend 45 minutes in 'Lab Results Pending'—longest dwell time in workflow. Consider dedicated phlebotomist or point-of-care testing."

Time-of-Day Patterns

Understand peak arrival times, busiest hours, slowest periods. Optimize staffing schedules to match patient volume.

Example: "ED arrivals spike 2-5 PM weekdays. Adjust provider schedules to have maximum coverage during peak hours."

Provider Performance

Compare provider productivity: patients per hour, time per encounter, throughput efficiency—identify best practices.

Example: "Dr. Smith sees 15% more patients/hour than average. Share her workflow practices in team meeting."
