Decrease ER wait times – admit the 6SigmaTek way.
How to decrease wait times from your Emergency Department to patient discharge or admit the 6SigmaTek way.
If your hospital is experiencing long length of stay, patients leaving without being seen, patients leaving against medical advise? Here is our high level approach.
1. Provide 6sigmaTek with one year of ED data from your EMR.
2. From your data 6sigmaTek will create an electronic model and analyze the busiest day, time of day, volume of patients ,and acuity of patients.
3. From the data the busiest day and time will be chosen. Then the 6SigmaTek CEO will dress up as a secret patient and present himself with a severe stomach ache. He will have no i.d., no insurance , but will have a cell phone with a Value Stream Map app and will be timing how long each process takes to complete.
