Reducing congestion and improving patient safety by streamlining work flow processes Hospitals provide a wide range of services from high-tech clinical care and complicated surgeries to basic hotel services. Ensuring a seamless management of the whole administration is often a daunting challenge. In addition, meeting the needs of an ageing population, coping with healthcare demands from the growing middle-class, and investigating new diseases and treatment all contribute to a strain on the limited healthcare resources. Hospitals are thus very keen to ensure they maximise efficiency so that they can reduce patient congestion, improve on the quality of healthcare and achieve cost savings.
The
Hospital Efficiency Asia 2010 summit will bring together senior levels experts from hospitals in Asia to share on what actions they have taken to improve patient flow, safety and work flow processes, and the results they have achieved. There will be case studies and interactive panel discussions on the equipment, technology and work flow re-engineering that has been carried out to maximise efficiency.
Attend
Hospital Efficiency 2010 to discuss key healthcare efficiency trends for the new decade. Topics covered include:
- The roadmap to an effective healthcare system
- Reviewing the use of RFID technology in maximizing efficiency
- Applying real-time bed management technology to increase patient capacity
- Enhancing the patient s experience via continuous innovations
- Best practices to adopt when re-engineering work processes
- Cutting patients waiting time to appointment, consultation and discharge
- Implementing quality methodologies such as Lean and Six Sigma to streamline processes
