patient flow management

Patient flow management refers to organizing and coordinating how patients move through healthcare facilities, from arrival to discharge. It involves scheduling, resource allocation, and process optimization to ensure timely care, reduce wait times, and prevent overcrowding. Effective management improves patient experiences, enhances safety, and ensures staff can deliver quality care efficiently. It requires monitoring patient volumes, streamlining procedures, and adjusting staffing as needed to maintain a smooth and safe flow within the healthcare setting.
