Most large health systems can finally see what’s happening across their operations in real time. The harder question is what to do with that information. As census climbs faster than revenue and the number of staffed beds shrinks, visibility alone still leaves teams firefighting delays as they surface.
At a summit hosted by GE HealthCare during Becker’s 11th Annual Health IT + Revenue Cycle Conference, healthcare leaders from Children’s Nebraska, Emory Healthcare and The Queen’s Medical Center shared how they’re moving from reactive operations to predictive ones — and why getting there depends on the organizational work around it.
The results are already showing. In its first year, The Queen’s Medical Center’s command center program cut length of stay by more than a day, reduced ED boarding times by 60% and saved an estimated $20 million.
Leaders at the summit framed this as early and unfinished work, but the organizations moving on it now, rather than waiting, are the ones expected to set the pace for healthcare operations ahead.
