Oriol Health Care’s Wachusett Respiratory Care Unit is a 41-bed skilled nursing unit that cares for patients requiring ventilators. The goal of this project was to analyze the frequency and cause of patient hospitalizations, investigate root causes to improve care, and make recommendations to reduce hospital admissions. Utilizing the A3 problem solving methodology, the team reviewed causes for hospital transfers, created process maps, and formulated recommendations for reducing admissions. These recommendations include improving inter-facility communications and adding electronic patient monitoring.
