Patient flow management tool for staff and managers
In hospitals, the many different stages of transferring patients from the point of admission to discharge, through diagnosis and treatment, is often coordinated using a mixture of paper lists and whiteboards. At any one time, it is almost impossible for operational teams to have real-time visibility of where there are issues and blockages that negatively impact patient flow.
See where delays and blockages are
With real-time visibility of all activity, from bed-management to granular task-level, ward and site managers can understand where there might be unnecessary delays or blockages, and more effectively respond to them. For example, it is clear to see the reason that a patient discharge or transfer is delayed, so decisions can be made to maintain patient flow.
Improve bed management
Bed management is easier with Infinity’s dashboard. Admissions, discharges, and transfers are automatically recorded on Infinity, removing the need for bed managers to spend time visiting and calling wards to ascertain upcoming discharges and transfers. Admissions and other transfers are therefore much easier and less time-consuming to plan and coordinate, and patient flow management is improved.
“Infinity provides a fantastic flow of information, following the patient from admission to A&E to discharge.”
