The Multidisciplinary Integration of Beds Management as a Way to Seek Effectiveness
Carolina Kitade Velloso
Currently, a major challenge for hospitals is to make their beds more efficient. Hospital administrators, based on the national scene and increased perspective on frequency and use of health services due to population aging and increasing complexity of patients due to chronic diseases, among others, are increasingly investing in the management of beds, they understood that it is not enough to create beds through the construction of buildings. Efforts are needed to optimize the existing beds, through the pursuit of excellence of hospital processes.
The performance of this team within hospitals is critical in the search for use of beds available at its maximum capacity, without representing risk to the patient or hospital, ensuring the financial health of the institution and the satisfaction of external and medical staff clients.
Thus, a study was conducted in order to understand all the processes that exert some influence on the management of beds and high patient flow, based on the results of Edmundo Vasconcelos Hospital Complex. We began the analysis by verifying all the problems faced by the bed management team, such as the waste of time in care and administrative processes, lack of communication between the teams, lack of choice to hospitalization, lack of beds for hospitalization of emergency patients, delay in hospitalization of elective surgical patients; afterwards, we reflected on how these issues had a negative relationship with the lack of efficiency of hospital beds.
All the results and times related to the flow of patients discharges were checked, detailed and measured thoroughly, in order to evaluate existing flaws and operational inefficiencies of processes, and then improvement actions were taken. We come to the conclusion that for the success of this work and improvement of hospital processes, acting in conjunction with the multidisciplinary teams is essential, because only in this way can we work together to find answers to the sustainability and effectiveness of the system, and so the hospital beds can be more efficient, meeting the need for the proposed service in the best possible way.
