This project seeks to transform and streamline the hospital bed management process. The proposed solution will automate task administration leveraging Radio Frequency Identification tags, a workflow platform and a dashboard that visualises tasks progress and potential back logs to management in real time.
Intended outcomes:
1. Estimated 30% improvement in average waiting time associated with bed space management & allocation leading to a more enhanced patient experience.
2. Greater compliance and governance procedures resulting in improved risk management.
3. Increased performance & process management, task examination & efficiencies, and the elimination of the need for paper based reporting.
4. Reduction in operational costs through improved risk and task management.
