In honor of American Hospital Association's #NationalHospitalWeek, we’re celebrating all hospitals, health systems, and caregivers who provide 24/7 care to their community. One of the hardest challenges hospitals face? Crowded Emergency Departments. We’re proud to partner with several of the nation's largest, most innovative health systems that are using virtual care – when clinically appropriate – to reduce burden, increase patient throughput, decrease left-without-being-seen rates, and optimize clinical staff. As hospitals continue to utilize technology to reach beyond their physical boundaries, we remain committed to our health system partners, ensuring that the communities they serve receive timely and high-quality care when and where they need it most. #NationalHospitalWeek #VirtualCare #DigitalHealthInnovation #WeAreHealthcare #HealthSystems

Our staff are always trying to find ways to #improve the #experience patients receive every time they come through our doors. Teams of #clinicians in a number of areas across the service identified a few areas where #flow could be #enhanced, allowing us to do just that. This work was recently #recognised following Bendigo Health’s participation in the Department of Health Timely Excellent Care Collaborative (TECC). The health service was one of 14 #public #hospitals that took part and the #collaborative ran from January 2023 to June 2024. In that time, 12 change ideas relating to our theory of change were tested through the application of Plan-Do Act-Study (PDAS) cycles within three workgroup streams – Emergency Department (ED), Inpatient services and Hospital-wide Operations (Access and Demand). Bendigo Health received a Certificate of #Recognition and #Achievement for “achieving significant and sustained improvement as part of the Timely Emergency Care Collaborative”. #TECC #award #achievement #health #loddonmallee #hospital #patientflow
