Why Altera Patient Flow?

Altera Patient Flow offers an integrated suite of solutions for bed management, housekeeping and transport operations to maximize patient throughput and communication—increasing overall efficiency and resource utilization.

Altera Patient Flow enables users to:

Optimize patient access and bed management—Streamlining patient transitions through the continuum of care

Successful organizations effectively prevent overcrowding problems by implementing a single comprehensive patient flow solution that encompasses bed management as a key functionality. When full visibility to transfer and discharge activities across the care continuum is enabled, fast and accurate patient placement becomes a possibility.

Having real-time insight into bed status, bed availability and patient movement data at your fingertips is essential, especially during demand peaks.

Eliminate housekeeping inefficiencies—Tracking and monitoring work routines in real time

Housekeeping operations can be optimized by automating the planning, assigning and tracking of housekeeping activities. This includes the dispatching process, communication of empty beds (including real-time displays), intelligent alerts and escalations. With automation, all key staff members are universally informed of bed-cleaning requests and job statuses.

With housekeeping operations automated and data available at the fingertips of all staff members, the hospital environment remains clean, comfortable and safe by reducing the chances of allocating a bed to the next patient before it is cleaned.

Effectively manage the porter pool—Streamlining inefficient transport processes

To optimize the porter service and limit delays, many organizations centralize the transport workload. Additionally, real-time views, highly configurable request screens, and intelligent assignment functions further improve efficiency by enabling organizations to achieve results.

Streamlining portering processes with a mobile application maximizes staff productivity by optimizing task allocation with batching and barcodes.

Deploy a single, integrated patient flow solution—Bringing Bed Management, Transport and Housekeeping together with one solution

As your health system tackles the post-pandemic increase in patient demand, take steps now to reduce the return of “hallway healthcare.” Leverage a complete solution that integrates all aspects of patient flow, ensuring communication, efficiency and patient throughput are maximized. Altera Patient Flow™ helps ensure your patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right location.
