ED Processes & Improvements: Implementation Best Practices & Outcomes
Published December 12, 2024


In this webinar, an Associate Chief Experience Officer, a Program Director, an Analyst, and a consultant will present what they did to improve patient experience outcomes across seven hospitals’ emergency departments which resulted in improved HCAHPS scores in all seven hospitals. The strategic, systemwide process improvements are based on analyses provided through Epic tools and Lean value stream analyses to isolate ED segmentation times to identify where and how to improve and eliminate waste. The tactics we will share are at no cost to any hospitals, are reproducible across hospital settings, and can be implemented in a short timeframe with tangible results in a few months.
