In a TeleTracking Technologies blog post, Valerie Fritz, vice president of marketing at TeleTracking, provides twelve factors that affect hospital resource use and allocation.
Here are six hospital resource demand indicators that Ms. Fritz identified:
• Admission volume
• Transfer center growth
• Average daily census
• Length of stay
• ED indicators (volume, LOS, admit rate)
• Lost business (leave without being seen, transfer center declines)
Ms. Fritz also identified six capacity indicators while the patient is treated:
• Improved OR, procedural and ancillary care utilization
• Reduction in OR holds
• Alignment of staffing with demand
• Increased patient satisfaction
• Increased physician satisfaction
• Reduced equipment delays
Hospitals can use these indicators to measure demand and capacity and efficiently allocate resources.
