Real-Time Clinical Operations Score: 4.15/5.0
Event-Driven & Real-Time Response | Internal audience
Bed bottlenecks are a leading cause of ED boarding and delayed admissions. A patient arrives at the ED with an acute MI requiring ICU admission, but no ICU bed is available because a post-op patient is still in the ICU pending step-down placement. Manual bed management relies on phone calls between units; admissions can be delayed 4 to 12 hours. Long ED waits worsen outcomes; cancelled surgeries disrupt the OR schedule.

Bed management directly improves hospital throughput and patient outcomes. A 5 to 10% reduction in ED boarding time improves outcomes for acute patients; cancelled surgery reduction reclaims $50K to $500K annually. The data is real-time and highly structured; outcomes are measurable (bed turnaround time, admission delays).
Sprint 0 (2 weeks) + 3 build sprints (6 weeks)
Bed management is event-driven: every discharge/transfer/admission triggers re-evaluation of bed availability. The initial 2-week sprint focuses on real-time ADT monitoring and bed availability calculation; subsequent sprints add clinical milestone prediction, housekeeping integration, and alerting. This is a medium-complexity use case suitable for operations teams.
