Our Recent Case Studies

  • Engaging Stakeholders to Reduce Hospital Bottlenecks

    A large suburban hospital struggled to move patients from the emergency department to the inpatient unit after being admitted. By the project’s conclusion, the team’s patient throughput time for admissions decreased by an average of 250 minutes.

  • Reducing High Dose IV Opioid Analgesia in Emergency Departments

    Opioid use disorder and abuse is a growing and complex medical-social problem in the United States. Within six months, we reduced IV and IM Dilaudid by 89% in a Virginia-based emergency department.

  • Distressed Hospital ER in North Carolina

    A hospital in North Carolina was faced with significant clinical operation concerns in their emergency department. After implementing throughput solution, they are now in the top 10% of all emergency departments nationwide in throughput.
