- Compirion and Henrico Doctors Hospital Team Up to Improve Quality of Care
Henrico Doctors' Hospital is a full service acute care hospital located in Richmond, Virginia, closely located to its competitor St. Mary's Hospital. Early in 2008, Henrico's administration decided to address a marked decrease in volume of patients hospital-wide, while St. Mary's volume was increasing. After investigation, the problem was found to be in the Emergency Department and compounded throughout the facility. Most notably, the issue began with a long Emergency Department length of stay, creating staff, physician and patient dissatisfaction. Overall length of stay was 270 minutes, over 470 minutes for admitted patients, and over 216 for discharged patients on average. Bed hold hours for admitted ED patients waiting transfer to an inpatient bed had risen to around 1500 hours per month. Gallup scores for patient satisfaction were at the 11th percentile. Patients began leaving without being treated at a rate twice the national average. Hospital administration decided something needed to change. (PRWeb Dec 26, 2008)
