A colleague recently reached out to me to to ask for some case studies of past work involving successful real-time collaborations with the ER and Inpatient Nursing, Critical Care, OR, PACU, Observation Unit, Step Down Units and Hospital Leadership.
The basic lesson we have learned and which has become our operating principle at Compirion is that, contrary to popular opinion, the Emergency Department is not upstream of the hospital. It is downstream of other hospital operations, and vulnerable to them.
Here are two more detailed case studies where significant collaboration was successfully engineered across ER, OR, Critical Care, Observation Unit, Step Down and Inpatient areas (these are PDF downloads):
