Do coordination of care interventions in hospitals improve patient outcomes and efficiency?
Implementation of patient care delivery models and surgical safety checklists in hospitals can effectively reduce length of stay and improve patient safety outcomes.
Madell et al. (2015) conducted a review in Hospital care coordination and workflow management. Patient care delivery models, preoperative briefings, and surgical safety checklists vs. Standard care or no intervention was evaluated. Implementation of patient care delivery models focusing on coordination of care and efficiency reduced hospital length of stay, and the use of preoperative briefings and surgical safety checklists improved patient safety outcomes.
