Industry Showcase Webinar: $73.8M in Annual Financial Benefits by Redirecting ED Visits – Results of an Economic Study
Are your healthcare facilities grappling with the challenges of overcrowded Emergency Departments (EDs), overburdened care providers, and limited patient access to timely care? These issues impact all stakeholders: patients struggle to access appropriate care, hospitals face heightened operational demands, and healthcare systems incur substantial costs due to non-urgent ED visits.
This session will showcase the results of a study that was conducted by Analysis Group, one of the largest international economic consulting firms. The study evaluated the financial impacts of a Healthcare Orchestration Platform, focusing on direct cost reductions associated with ER visits from a health system perspective.
You will gain an understanding of how a healthcare authority, in collaboration with Petal, a leading digital company, successfully streamlined a series of processes aimed at reducing ED overcrowding. This session will highlight three strategic processes: 1) improving care access for unattached patients, 2) ensuring timely appointments for urgent cases, and 3) redirecting non-urgent visits away from EDs. These have collectively reduced over 800 ED visits per day – alleviating strain on hospitals, improving patient flow, and generating annual financial benefits of $73.8M.
Discover how a connected system that centralizes data from nearly 20 IT systems— including provincial authentication systems, EMRs/EHRs, and booking portals—can successfully optimize access to primary care and ensure patients receive appropriate care more efficiently.
This session will offer a unique opportunity for healthcare leaders to explore how strategic initiatives combined with innovative technology and intelligent processes can reshape care delivery and set new standards for sustainable, patient-centred healthcare.
