The Challenges

After a thorough program assessment, HNI Healthcare diagnosed the following issues that were affecting quality of care and facility revenue generation.

Poor Hand-Off Process

Lack of communication during hospitalist shift exchange increased LOS.

Lack of Multidisciplinary Collaboration

This resulted in poor care coordination and disposition planning.

No Performance Reporting

The hospital lacked reporting tools to evaluate group and individual physician metric performance.

Financial Loss From Excessive LOS

ALOS historically trended at 1 day over GMLOS.
