Gone is the traditional understanding of capacity management. Terri Epler sits down with Duncan Campbell to take an insider look at how COVID-19 upends the healthcare industry’s historical view of capacity management. They dissect how COVID-19 unexpectedly impacted hospital capacity and examine why capacity management is critical for efficient operations during every level of patient demand.
Providers are under enormous pressure to manage patient volume as a result of the flood of actual and suspected COVID-19 cases. We are providing emergency COVID-19 services that help providers scale to address rising patient volume, deploy a remote workforce, and engage patients whose elective procedures are impacted. These digital solutions and outsourced services can alleviate patient access challenges due to increased volume.
We are providing several one-time services for our customers at no charge during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Even under normal circumstances, providers must mobilise staff, anticipate workload requirements, manage productivity, and adjust staff in real-time on a shift-by-shift basis. This takes on added urgency as providers struggle to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, manage the extraordinary patient volume, and ensure staff safety. And for laboratories that need to get new COVID-19 test codes to providers, the integration provided by Change Healthcare between 600+ labs and 100 leading EHRs is vital to their success. We are currently helping 125+ labs expedite getting new tests and codes to market, and that number is growing daily.
