Description

ECU Health Medical Center utilizes a Transfer Center with Bed Planners to facilitate patient movement within the organization, including between surgical areas. Patients undergoing Operating Room procedures have various entry points and situations that determine their clinical care needs. Urgent, emergent, and non-same day arrival procedures rely on an accurate EPIC build to ensure proper scheduling and encounter creation. Accurate and complete workflows are also an important step in ensuring effective bed planning, efficient registration and smooth patient throughput.
