Overview:

Advancing Care Progression: Innovations Across the Continuum 
How leading organizations are improving flow, efficiency, and patient outcomes from ambulatory care through acute care and the OR

Healthcare organizations continue to face mounting challenges related to capacity constraints, patient access, throughput, and care coordination across the continuum. Advancing Care Progression: Innovations Across the Continuum brings together healthcare leaders and practitioners to share real-world strategies that are improving patient flow, operational efficiency, and clinical outcomes across acute, ambulatory, and perioperative settings.

Built around a "How Did They Do That?" format, each session will provide a transparent look at successful initiatives, highlighting the problem addressed, interventions implemented, outcomes achieved, barriers encountered, and lessons learned throughout the process. Attendees will gain practical insights and actionable strategies that can be adapted and implemented within their own organizations to advance care progression and support high-quality, patient-centered care.

Featured sessions will explore:

• Acute Inpatient Care Progression 
• Ambulatory and Outpatient Care Progression 
• Operating Room Efficiency, Flow, and Care Progression

 
Upon completion of this symposium, participants will be able to:

• Analyze innovative strategies and multidisciplinary approaches used to improve care progression, patient flow, and operational efficiency across acute, ambulatory, and perioperative settings. 
• Evaluate the outcomes, performance measures, challenges, and lessons learned from successful care progression initiatives. 
• Apply proven best practices and replicable solutions to advance access, throughput, and patient-centered care within their own organizations.
