Patient Throughput Barriers and Solutions 

05-31-2023 09:50


Patient throughput defines the flow of patients from one phase of care to the next, admission through discharge, and then back to home or the next best transition of care. Throughput success is measured by how efficiently and effectively patients are able to gain access to, and receive the care needed, as they move across the system. In short, it is purposeful velocity that define patient throughput performance.

Velocity is increased by optimizing the sequence of patient care activities called value streams. When waste such as delays, errors, and inefficient transportation are eliminated from these operations what remains is the ability to provide more value in less time. Creating unobstructed patient flow in these value streams is key to improving patient throughput velocity (for more information go to Register Now).

Executive panelists include Dr. Derek Feuquay, Chief Medical Officer, Northern Arizona Health; Jacob Lansburg, System Vice President of Care Transformation & Effectiveness, Northern Arizona Health; and others.
