OPTIMIZE OPERATIONS
Improving efficiency and streamlining operational processes begins during the assessment phase of working with Terumo Health Outcomes. During this period, we conduct a live evaluation of all your processes – engaging your medical staff, leadership and other team members as needed. After determining areas that can be optimized, we provide a customized report with our recommendations.
For many labs, optimizing the Patient Care Pathway will include incorporating same-day discharge. The increase of transradial access, along with a patient-centered approach, has greatly reduced the risk of major complications following interventional procedures. Terumo Health Outcomes can give your team the tools and guidance it needs to offer same-day discharge to low-risk patients.
PATIENT CARE PATHWAY
Today, improving profitability and patient outcomes starts with optimizing your operational processes or in terms of patient care, the patient care pathway. One of the ways to achieve this goal is by employing a same day discharge strategy and a greater focus on transradial access. By employing these and other strategies we can assist your program in developing and delivering the tools and solutions to meet this new demanding healthcare environment.
