Deliver the Right Care, in the Right Setting, at the Right Time

Ensuring timely patient care in the right location at the right time with the right clinical team is critical.
Through this course, participants will learn how to adopt and apply core concepts for governing complex systems to achieve hospital-wide patient flow: Right Care, Right Place; Right Time; and Available Capacity. These core concepts form the basis of a multidisciplinary flow philosophy that unites all staff and departments to a common purpose.
After completing the course, participants will have skills to apply these concepts at an organizational level to prioritize high-level strategies to improve hospital-wide flow. Constructing an action plan to focus improvement efforts within a multidisciplinary team context, they will be able to lead the following activities, among others, at their individual organizations:
- Generation of ideas to help build or strengthen the will for achieving hospital-wide flow (skills)
- Creation of a hospital-wide learning system to understand failure, focusing on the development of approaches to mitigate flow failures and flow delays (strategy)
- Articulation where investment is needed for successful execution of hospital-wide change initiatives to improve hospital-wide performance (performance)
The High Stakes of Suboptimal Flow
Optimizing patient flow throughout the hospital is essential to ensuring safe, high-quality, patient-centered care and capacity for growing and aging populations. Providing timely access to appropriate sites of care and optimizing hospital flow are critical levers that increase value for patients, clinicians, and health care systems. Patient and clinician experience is strongly influenced by the efficiency and effectiveness of care reflective of hospital flow.
Poorly managed flow has critical implications, such as:
- Delaying treatments
- Failing to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time
- Putting patients at risk for potential harm and undesired outcomes
- Increasing the burden on clinicians and contributing to moral distress
Diversions, long waits, and delays in the emergency department (ED) are a hospital-wide issue, not solely an ED issue. Waits are often the result of ED beds being occupied by patients waiting for admission to the hospital (known as boarding). Lack of inpatient capacity can also result in patients boarding in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and being managed in "off-service" units.
While many hospital leaders are aware of the problem, they may struggle with developing the strategies needed to address these complex issues.
Agenda
This program consists of 10 live virtual sessions from 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM ET.
Participants must attend all live sessions to receive a certificate of completion and credits for this program.
Continuing Education
In support of improving patient care, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the health care team.
Continuing education credits for this program are still being finalized and will be updated shortly.

As a result of this program, attendees will be able to:
- Assess the current state of patient flow and determine major opportunities for improvement.
- Analyze organizational capability, change concepts, and successful interventions for creating a sustainable system for system-wide hospital flow.
- Identify the variety of hospital-wide and community strategies and approaches needed to deliver the right care in the right place and at the right time.
