A new patient flow system has been deployed at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust to help healthcare professionals enhance patient safety and make the most of bed availability for patients.
Miya Flow, from health tech company Alcidion, went live across Royal Bolton Hospital at the end of May, and has been supporting clinical teams as they move patients forward in their care.
The system uses journey boards to show live bed status and helps clinical and operational teams to understand where patients are in their hospital journey from admission to discharge.
Improved transparency is removing the need for patient flow teams to manually phone wards to identify capacity, and is supporting staff as they manage efficient admission, care and discharge of patients.
Dawn Devine, head of clinical systems at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, said: Staff have embraced Miya Flow which is supporting more timely movement of patients, and helping our teams as they do everything possible to ensure patients are in the most appropriate bed for them, and at the right time.
