Understanding the Key Problems
“My housekeeping staff finds out about discharged patients by checking a handwritten log.”
“My surgeries are being canceled for want of an inpatient bed”
“I sometimes hold my patients in the hospital an extra day—just to save a seat for my next patient.”
“Patients are being sent to other hospitals—we can’t find room”
Assignment and Transfer Delays
Limited Capacity Intelligence
Unmonitored bed turnaroundDelayed Visibility of Empty BedsUnseen Capacity

Key Problems for a Hospital COO
How do hospitals manage their beds today?
The current options are all inadequate
• Manual option– Time consuming- slow relay of information leaves beds open or un-cleaned while
patients pile up in the ED or admitting– Nurses do not actively seek to fill beds
• Visual system– Maintenance issues– Limited to one area– Does not contact anyone directly
• Telephone Tracking System– Low compliance due to complexity of system– The fact that it is being considered is an indication of the great need for a solution
in this area.
How D’HealthCare can help?“Lower Cost of Care”Reduce Costs per Revenue
“Better Patient Billing”Revenue Recovery
“Lower Cost of Operation”Reduced Variable Costs
“Better Physician/Patients”Improved Revenue Portfolio
“Great Patient Experience”Quality and Safety
• Reduced denials and re-bills• Maximize reimbursements• Improve financial counseling• Improved employee performance
management
• Attract more paying patients• Attract more top physicians• Negotiate more favorable contracts• Launch new services more quickly
• Reduce repeated orders• Eliminate wasted effort• Improve assignment of indirect
costs for better profit mgmt• Improved usage of GPO contracts
• Allow real-time intervention during the episode-of-care
• Improve the time nurses spend with patients
• Reduce occurrence of “never events” and errors
• Improved CMS and P4P reporting and proactive management
• Improved forecasts• Reduce shrinkage on high-value,
highly-portable items• Improved availability of rentals’;
lower inventories• Reduce excess on-hand inventory• Improved assignment and
balancing of staff
Benefits of D’HealthCare Technology
• Unique Framework for Enterprise Performance Management• ‘Systems Thinking’ concepts applied on enterprise for holistic performance improvement• Performance Semantics captured simplistically in D'HealthCare Semantic Network• D'HealthCare platform auto-generates 70% of code i.e. Shorter development cycle and rapid implementation

Sample Discharge Process Summary (Real time)
Real time Bed Visibility at Admissions
Achieving Bed TransparencyLacking Transparency, Losing Admissions
• 97% occupancy
• Patients boarding in the ED
• No knowledge of scheduled discharges
A Full House A Decision to Divert
A Decision to Divert
• Direct admissions denied
• Surgeries cancelled
• Hidden beds
• Unforeseen discharges
• Beds held unnecessarily
• Lack of bed transparency leads to “Unplanned Capacity”
• 15 lost admissions daily
UnanticipatedEmpty Beds
• Hidden Beds: Patients left several hours earlier; empty beds not reported
• Unforeseen Discharges: Beds with pending and scheduled discharges are not reported to Bed Control
• Unnecessary Holds: Surgery cancellations not communicated to Bed Control; inpatient beds held unnecessarily
• Excess Idle Time: Direct admission delayed; bed held waiting for patient to arrive

Events & Notifications
Patient Pathway Analysis• Pathway Compliance
– Patient movement along predetermined pathways
– Top level measurements at a the “Semantic Level” pathway
– Allow users to look at highest level of pathway compliance across all patients
– Drill down from top level to various specialties (specific pathways)
– Further drill-down into individual patient pathways
• Compliance Violation
– Because of delays in activity
– Because of latency (wait time) & scheduling issues
– Because of failure/complications
– Because of repeat procedures or abnormal pathways etc
• Highlight Various KPIs and Measures
– Compliance violation due to delays, scheduling issues etc
– Pathways ahead of time (better than expected)
– Current status, trends this week, this month and over a period of time
