Medical Command Centers Take Flight | RealClearWire
Here is evidence of smart leadership that optimizes logistics and resources to reduce bottlenecks impacting the treatment of patients.
Outcomes are impressive:
“Michigan’s M2C2 just began operating on Nov. 29 but similar initiatives at other institutions have shown significant benefits in patient care covering the full spectrum of services from admission to discharge.
After opening its command center, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore reported that its critical care team was dispatched 63 minutes sooner to pick up patients via ambulance from outside hospitals and “a 60 percent improvement in the ability to accept patients with complex medical conditions from other hospitals around the region and country.”
Patients were assigned to a bed “30 percent faster after a decision was made to admit him or her from the Emergency Department” and transfer delays from the operating room after a procedure was reduced by 70 percent. Hopkins also reported that “twenty-one percent more patients were discharged before noon.”
“Seven years in the making, this state-of-the-art facility – officially known as the M2C2: The Michigan Medicine Capacity Operations and Real Time Engagement Center – is improving patient care by leveraging real-time data and predictive analytics to not only identify bottlenecks and other barriers hindering care but also to get ahead of potential problems.
Building on the success of similar initiatives at other cutting-edge hospitals, including Johns Hopkins and Yale in the United States and several medical centers outside the US, Michigan’s M2C2 reflects the innovative use of technology to enhance care and reduce costs.”
Encouraging.
Onwards!
