4. How do hospitals manage their
beds today?
The current options are all inadequate
• Manual option
– Time consuming- slow relay of information leaves beds open or un-cleaned while
patients pile up in the ED or admitting
– Nurses do not actively seek to fill beds
• Visual system
– Maintenance issues
– Limited to one area
– Does not contact anyone directly
• Telephone Tracking System
– Low compliance due to complexity of system
– The fact that it is being considered is an indication of the great need for a solution
in this area.

17. Patient Pathway Analysis
• Pathway Compliance
– Patient movement along predetermined pathways
– Top level measurements at a the “Semantic Level” pathway
– Allow users to look at highest level of pathway compliance across all patients
– Drill down from top level to various specialties (specific pathways)
– Further drill-down into individual patient pathways
• Compliance Violation
– Because of delays in activity
– Because of latency (wait time) & scheduling issues
– Because of failure/complications
– Because of repeat procedures or abnormal pathways etc
• Highlight Various KPIs and Measures
– Compliance violation due to delays, scheduling issues etc
– Pathways ahead of time (better than expected)
– Current status, trends this week, this month and over a period of time
