Mercy Medical Center-Des Moines Experiences 13.1% Boost in Patient Transfers
Summary
However, in 2014 the organization’s leadership determined that an internally managed solution would better meet the needs of the medical center’s staff, physicians, patients, and referring sites. From implementation through the end of 2017, patient transfers have risen by an average of 9% per year, and this growth trend continues to the present day. “While we expected growth during the first and subsequent years after deployment, Mercy Connect has grown more quickly than we originally estimated,” says Gavora. Central Logic’s inventive Transfer Center solution helps hospitals grow revenue, reduce leakage, compete in an ever-changing market, and ensure the best outcomes through a higher level of service and a better patient experience. Transfer Center’s actionable real-time data and analytics enable users to make efficient, informed decisions as they refer, admit, and move patients in, through, and out of the health system.
