StatCom Announces Hospital-Wide Patient Flow Logistics
and Tracking Solution
Industry breakthrough solution significantly improves
patient throughput and capacity management across hospital and
healthcare systems.
ATLANTA, GA -- February 26, 2007 - StatCom announced today the
launch of its patient flow logistics and tracking software
developed to improve patient throughput and capacity management
hospital wide. StatCom enables hospitals to anticipate demand and
manage bottlenecks more effectively. Operational visibility
increases, communication is enhanced, and patient care hand-offs
are turned into handshakes.
"The right technology solution can act as a leverage point for
hospitals that are struggling to solve capacity and utilization
challenges. The solution must go beyond simply providing
visibility," said Eric Morgan, president and CEO of StatCom . "It
must provide real-time tools to effectively manage the flow of
patients through the hospital. StatCom's hospital-wide patient flow
logistics and tracking system does just that."
StatCom coordinates patients and resources from admission
through discharge, including bed management, environmental
services, transportation, patient LOS management, OR patient flow,
ED patient flow, and discharge coordination. It informs physicians,
staff, and family as to the location and status of the patient
throughout the care progression, and it provides real-time tools to
effectively manage that flow within and between departments.
"StatCom has given us the ability to know where a patient is at
all times in our procedure center so that we are able to track
patient progress from admission to discharge. We are excited to see
StatCom extend their technology to the entire enterprise," said
Mary Kay Thalken, Clinical Support Services Executive at Alegent
Health's Bergan Mercy Medical Center. "StatCom has enabled us to
improve team performance and patient, physician, and employee
satisfaction. I see them as a healthcare innovator, tackling real
issues with real solutions."
Vi Shaffer, Research Vice President at Gartner, Inc., stated:
"Healthcare organizations need much better ways of managing and
optimizing facility capacity and setting productivity, and that
means adopting sophisticated logistics and tracking techniques just
as other industries do. But these need to be adapted to the unique
complexities of patient flow. Delivering care processes more
efficiently and reliably is unquestionably critical to better and
safer patient care and certainly improves patient
satisfaction."
A unique healthcare IT solution, StatCom creates a common
workflow across the healthcare system by capturing patient flow and
tracking data from a variety of sources and input devices, and it
facilitates cross vertical handoffs. The resulting hospital-wide
benefits include::
- Real-time, system-wide view of bed demand, capacity, and
resource utilization
- Increased ED and OR throughput
- Up-to-the-minute operational process information including
census by hospital and unit
- The functionality to prioritize and proactively manage length
of stay progression and day of discharge tasks
- Improved communication and hand-offs across vertical silos,
consistent with a system aim focus
StatCom is currently available for hospital-wide
implementation. For more information call 800-930-0870 or email: info@statcom.com. Visit StatCom
