Hospital command centers featuring sophisticated technology are becoming more common as health systems face growing capacity challenges, according to an article on the Health Leaders website.
Capacity challenges can affect patient experience when access is limited.
The new command centers use advanced technology featuring predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and real-time data with information about discharges, incoming patients, ED and OR capacity and bed availability.
Florida Hospital in Orlando announced its new facility on May 31. This command center will coordinate patient care for nine central Florida hospitals, which include about 2,900 licensed beds, more than 2 million patient visits a year, and 640,000 ED encounters annually
