Centralizing the patient placement process at a healthcare organization can help relieve the aforementioned problems. However, healthcare facilities need to overcome the barriers to supporting a centralized patient placement model.
A recent TeleTracking blog post also discusses the four most common barriers to a centralized model, according to The Next Generation Capacity Management Advisory Board:

2. Failure to quickly obtain inpatient order.
3. Lack of centralized bed placement.
4. Suboptimal use of existing technology.
