Compirion Healthcare Sponsors Free Webinar On Achieving Early Hospital Discharges

Posted on: Friday, 10 July 2009, 13:42 CDT

ELM GROVE, Wis., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Compirion Healthcare Solutions, a whole-hospital process improvement firm is sponsoring a series of free webinars to help educate hospital executives, managers and clinicians in strategies for optimizing processes and procedures. The full list of webinars can be found at www.compirion.com/webinars along with times, dates and registration information. The first webinar in the series is entitled Achieving Early AM Hospital Discharges: Tips to Increase Bed Capacity and Improve the Patient Experience.

The purpose of Achieving Early AM Hospital Discharges webinar is to help solve bed capacity issues in hospitals and emergency rooms. The lack of available beds adversely impacts patients as well as healthcare facilities. Long door-to-admit times can put critically ill patients at risk; negatively affect quality of care, and lower patient satisfaction. Impeding patient flow places a strain on resources and ultimately affects the hospital's "bottom line." This important webinar focuses on steps the healthcare team can take to achieve earlier discharges thus enhancing the patient experience and expanding bed capacity for the facility. Medical Directors, Directors of Case Management/Social Service, Allied Health Professionals, Emergency Care Leads, Directors of Nursing and CEOs will find this webinar extremely beneficial and timely.

This webinar is being presented by one of Compirion's top clinical consultants, Tammy Corley, RN, BSN. Tammy has recently completed an improvement project at Duke University Hospital where she worked with the staff to increase the number of inpatients discharged before 11:00 am by 75%, reduce the number of inpatients discharged before 1:00 pm by 32% and reduced inpatient length-of-stay from 6.03 days to 5.71 days. Tammy held the position of Director of Case Management at Arkansas Heart Hospital prior to joining Compirion Healthcare Solutions in 2008. She also worked as a Registered Nurse Case Manager and a Charge Nurse at St Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Compirion's presenters are drawn from its pool of consultants, which includes registered nurses, former C-level executives, physicians, business managers and clinicians. The webinars are running through September and average about 45 minutes each with a question-and-answer session at the end.

According to Compirion Management, "We are presenting this series of free webinars because we truly believe that efficiency in the hospital, especially the ED, not only saves time and money, it saves lives. The faster you can get a patient to treatment, the better the outcomes you can expect. It is the premise on which Compirion was founded."
