Care Logistics Hospital Operating System Solution - Overview

A market leading hospital management system that provides a complete status view of all patients (from admission discharge), coordinates all clinical and non-clinical patient movements (including therapeutic and diagnostic order logistics) occurring in a hospital environment, to achieve choreographed, simultaneous patient flow.

Inefficient patient flow is one of the main challenges facing hospitals today and is becoming more pronounced as hospitals struggle with increasing patient and consumer demands, aging facilities, declining revenues and limited access to capital. With the expected impact of healthcare reform, it is imperative for hospitals to adopt operational improvement methodologies that look beyond specific departments and instead take a system-wide approach in order to Achieve Total Hospital Efficiency.

Most hospitals have clinical, financial, and departmental hospital software solutions, but they do not have a fully integrated hospital management system that is able to track and manage system-wide patient flow logistics in real-time. 

Through process re-engineering and adaptive software technology, Care Logistics' Hospital Operating SystemTM coordinates and integrates all the clinical and non-clinical patient movements and order executions occurring in a hospital environment to achieve choreographed patient flow. The enhanced hospital management system helps hospitals transform their operations to deliver timely and efficient patient throughput, which helps hospitals:

  • Control costs
  • Increase physician, patient and staff satisfaction
  • Make available more beds for admissions
  • Reduce the average length of stay
  • Strengthen revenue

What exactly does that mean for a hospital?  Implementation of Care Logistics' Hospital Operating SystemTM has delivered improvements in patient flow and care coordination that have reduced the average hospital length of stay by 0.5 to 0.7 days in the first year.  The financial impact of transforming their operations has been so dramatic that clients have seen greater than two times return on their investment in the first year. 

Through an orchestrated approach, combining mindset, methodology, and technology, Care Logistics' Hospital Operating SystemTM helps hospitals refocus on the way they provide care by optimizing performance across the entire facility rather than within individual departments. 

How Care Logistics transforms hospital operations:

  • Mindset - Our Transformation Team works closely with hospital teams to initiate system aim and to help them embrace a culture of transformation that helps them achieve their specific operational goals.
  • Methodology - Through a three-phase, multi-level approach, hospital management system teams learn how to unleash their transformational potential.
  • Technology - Care Logistics' proven Adaptive System Intelligence software, developed specifically for dynamic hospital environments, helps our customers sustain their transformation gains and enables real-time performance management.

 

A comprehensive throughput solution:

Hospital Operating SystemTM Solution- The foundation of the solution is comprised of 3 components- Care Coordination Model, Patient Logistics, and Real-time Performance Analytics.  Once these are in place, hospitals may expand the capabilities into other areas via additional modules-  Order Logistics, Rounding Logistics, Staffing Logistics, Procedural Logistics, and Emergency Logistics.

No Duplicate Data Entry: Easy, non-duplicated data entry means valuable time is not wasted entering information into multiple systems.  Depending on the hospitals appetite and capability to support different devices, touch screen monitors, P.D.A.s, real-time location tracking technologies and the like can all be deployed to enable smooth workflow and patient tracking.

On-PathTM Progress Reports: Our transformation engineering team helps you make a smooth transition from go-live to successful on-going performance via our On-PathTM reporting process. Included in the maintenance of your hospital management system are On-PathTM six month check-ups after each module go-live, providing you feedback on your progress towards achieving optimal sustained performance. Continuing to use the lens of Mindset, Methodology, and Technology, the transformation engineering team provides you a summary gap analysis and a prioritized list of recommendations.
