The Admission Planning Board brings together clinical and operational data to give care managers, nursing staff, and leaders a shared, real-time view of all current admissions. Each patient’s board entry displays planned milestones, consult statuses, barriers to discharge, and an anticipated discharge date, providing a unified daily plan that helps teams stay aligned and proactive.
Designed for daily interdisciplinary rounds (IDRs), this dashboard aggregates EMR data such as orders, consults, documentation progress, and disposition plans to highlight what’s done, what’s pending, and where intervention is needed. By making these milestones visible at the unit and enterprise level, teams can anticipate discharges, identify bottlenecks early, and improve bed utilization without relying on static reports or manual tracking.
Benefits
- Clear daily plan: Provides a unified operational picture across disciplines, ensuring every team member knows today’s care priorities and pending tasks.
- Fewer discharge delays: Surfaces barriers such as incomplete consults, unsigned orders, or missing transport arrangements early in the process.
- Better bed utilization: Enables throughput and capacity management by projecting discharge readiness in real time.
- Enhanced communication: Supports interdisciplinary coordination by aligning consults, tasks, and discharge goals across teams.
Key Capabilities
- Milestone tracker per patient with customizable steps (admission, consult, testing, discharge planning, etc.).
- Consult visibility and status indicators with color-coded blockers for outstanding actions or overdue responses.
- Anticipated discharge date projections based on physician documentation, case management updates, and LOS targets.
- Unit, service line, and enterprise filters for dynamic census and throughput visualization.
- Real-time data refresh from EMR and ancillary feeds (orders, consults, bed management).
- Exportable dashboards for leadership rounds, morning huddles, and operational review meetings.
Great for
- Care Managers and Unit-Based RNs: Monitor real-time admission milestones, consult status, and anticipated discharge dates to coordinate patient progress and reduce delays.
- Health Information Management (HIM), Throughput, and Bed Management Teams: Improve discharge readiness and capacity planning with unit-level census filters, consult blockers, and predictive milestone tracking overlays.
- Clinical Informatics and EMR Analysts: Govern milestone definitions, tune discharge prediction logic, and surface throughput bottlenecks using analytics dashboards and trend-based throughput metrics.
- Operations and Leadership Rounds: Use enterprise and unit-level views to support daily coordination meetings, track discharges, and align staffing and bed availability in real time.
