Patient Flow

Elpas Patient Flow gives hospitals the ability to monitor and analyze how patients are moving through different stages of care delivery. The result can be improved patient care, satisfaction, and an increase in hospital revenue without the need for new building programs, supplemental capital investments or additional workforce expansions.

How Patient Flow Works

At the time of admission, each patient is provided with an Elpas Patient Tag which transmits real-time location visibility. These tags are used to monitor how patients move through the different stages of care delivery, freeing staff from the time consuming task of manual record keeping.

Hospital personnel are provided with automated time stamped dashboard-like snapshots of the current care status of each patient, graphically overlaid onto the relevant floor plan. This information can also be displayed on electronic boards in waiting rooms updating family and friends as to the progress of a patient’s treatment.

Finally, to facilitate better task coordination, automated alerts can also be sent to medical staff allowing them to check on patients waiting for treatment, to update room status, to transfer patients or to issue housekeeping requests.
