453 - Ripple Effect of Patient Flow in Healthcare: An Independent Study on The Benefits of Miya Flow, Alcidion


Listen Later

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Peter Birch sits down with Nick White, Chief Marketing Officer at Alcidion, to explore the benefits of implementing modern patient flow systems in healthcare.

Nick discusses the recent independent study at Alfred Health that highlights the positive impact of electronic patient journey boards on clinical workflows, bed allocation, discharge planning, and overall patient care. With his extensive healthcare tech and marketing background, Nick shares insights on how Alcidion transforms patient flow management through innovative solutions like Miya Precision.


Key Takeaways:

  • Enhanced Efficiency in Bed Allocation: The study showed a 67% reduction in call duration for bed allocation, thanks to Alcidion's Miya Precision platform. This freed up clinicians’ time and resources, making bed management more efficient.
  • Reduction in Outliers: There was a significant 17.7% decline in patients being admitted to incorrect wards, improving patient care quality and reducing the length of stay.
  • Real-Time Patient Information: Access to up-to-date patient data has eliminated discrepancies that previously existed between different data sources, enhancing patient safety and care.
  • Improved Discharge Planning: The study highlighted the positive impact of mandatory Estimated Date of Discharge (EDD) entries, which have improved predictive analytics and bed availability planning.
  • Consistency in Workflow: Before Miya Precision, the healthcare facility faced 30 different workflow variations. This number was reduced to 9, allowing staff to move between wards more effectively and maintain consistent care levels.
  • Shorter Length of Stay: A 12.1% reduction in patient length of stay was observed, reflecting the overall enhanced efficiency in the system.
  • Future Technological Advancements: Potential for AI and advanced predictive analytics to further enhance patient flow and bed management.
