Operational hospital overview with Columna Flow

Command Centre collects and processes data from your Task Management solution to:
Leverage data on pending tasks, wait times, and expected workloads

• Get an overview of current ongoing blocking tasks that drain resources from teams 
• Identify and escalate selected tasks across multiple teams
• Compare task completion rates with typical historical patterns and reallocate resources dynamically to prevent delays

With this comprehensive information, you can identify potential issues before they cause delays and affect patient care. 

Coordinators can strategically allocate staff to the most critical teams and tasks based on real-time priorities. Meanwhile, porters, cleaning assistants and phlebotomists can observe when other colleagues are falling behind with their workloads, allowing them to support busy teams by helping them solve tasks.

This culture of mutual assistance creates a more flexible and responsive workforce where teams naturally collaborate to keep all hospital operations running smoothly. 

Command Centre collects and processes data from the Clinical Tasking solution on:

• Patient progression through the diagnostic pathway
• Waiting times at each treatment stage
• The average emergency assessment time
• Patients not triaged timely

This information enables you to identify potential bottlenecks in the Emergency Department before they cascade throughout the hospital and possibly impact overall patient flow. 

The solution is designed for coordinating physicians, coordinating nurses, and management in Emergency Departments. It gives them a clear picture of patient flows and enables them to manage their team's workload and allocate resources when needed. 

However, it is also possible to provide selected data access to relevant frontline staff, such as doctors and nurses, enabling them to see, for example, which patients are awaiting assignment or triage. This empowers clinicians to prioritise cases based on acuity and wait times.

Command Centre collects and processes data on the overall hospital capacity including:

• Current bed occupancy rates for each ward and department
• Expected discharges for the same day
• Patient distribution across units
• Capacity bottlenecks and potential overflow areas

This comprehensive information allows those responsible for your hospital-wide capacity to monitor bed occupancy percentages closely, coordinate optimal patient distribution throughout the hospital and deploy resources where they are needed most.
