Discharge and Throughput Challenges - On Demand 2026
Bed capacity can hinge on a single hour. In this course, you’ll dissect patient, clinician, and operational drivers of discharge, then design streamlined workflows, implement handoff and EDD practices, evaluate real-time metrics, and refine bottlenecks. Using case-based labs, you’ll optimize throughput while protecting safety and experience—and leave with a playbook you can deploy tomorrow.
