The study involved implementing a multidisciplinary intervention to increase the discharge-before-noon rate in two acute care inpatient medicine units of a tertiary care, urban, academic medical center.
After implementing the intervention, the researchers noticed that increasing the discharge-before-noon rate correlated with admissions arriving earlier in the day and reductions in high-frequency peaks of ED admissions.
Additionally, the statistically significant improvements in the discharge-before-noon rate was able to be sustained at 35 percent.
