Deliver the Right Care, in the Right Setting, at the Right Time
In the post-pandemic era, safe, equitable, and high-quality care takes on a sharper focus for hospitals and clinicians like never before. When faced with these inputs, managing hospital flow to meet the care needs of communities takes on the utmost importance. These goals can be impacted by increasing patient complexity and acuity, higher degree of frailty, highly complex care processes, design layout of aging facilities, and staffing challenges.

The High Stakes of Suboptimal Flow
Optimizing patient flow throughout the hospital is essential to ensuring safe, high-quality, patient-centered care and capacity for growing and aging populations. Providing timely access to appropriate sites of care and optimizing hospital flow are critical levers that increase value for patients, clinicians, and health care systems. Patient and clinician experience is strongly influenced by the efficiency and effectiveness of care reflective of hospital flow.
Poorly managed flow has critical implications, such as:
- Delaying treatments
- Failing to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time
- Putting patients at risk for potential harm and undesired outcomes
- Increasing the burden on clinicians and contributing to moral distress
Diversions, long waits, and delays in the emergency department (ED) are a hospital-wide issue, not solely an ED issue. Waits are often the result of ED beds being occupied by patients waiting for admission to the hospital (known as boarding). Lack of inpatient capacity can also result in patients boarding in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and being managed in "off-service" units.
While many hospital leaders are aware of the problem, they may struggle with developing the strategies needed to address these complex issues.
Agenda
This program consists of 10 live virtual sessions from 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM ET.
Participants must attend all live sessions to receive a certificate of completion and credits for this program.

Take the CPHFH Practice Exam
Take a practice examination to help you evaluate your level of preparedness for the certification examination. Practice examinations are available for $99 and may be ordered online.
The CPHFH Practice Exam is an online practice exam that was developed to be parallel in content and difficulty to the actual Certified Professional in Human Factors in Health Care exam. The practice exam should be regarded as a diagnostic tool to assess strengths and weaknesses, rather than a study guide for the examination. A passing score on the practice exam does not in any way guarantee a passing score on the CPHFH certification examination, nor is it required to sit for the examination. The practice exam will be available online to you for a period of 60 days from the date the order is placed.

Certification is awarded upon passing a comprehensive examination covering three key domains: Assess and Analyze, which involves evaluating and understanding human-system interactions to identify potential risks; Design, which focuses on designing and implementing systems and processes that enhance safety and efficiency; and Improve and Monitor, which entails continuously refining and overseeing systems to ensure ongoing safety and sustainable effectiveness.
Health care professionals who are educated in human factors are empowered with valuable insights into the relationship between humans, patients, and the systems with which they interact.

Improvement Areas: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence in Health Care
While artificial intelligence (AI) applications in health care hold much promise, they also present serious potential risks that must be considered and addressed prior to more widespread implementation.
The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (genAI) in health care is highly dynamic, rapidly expanding and changing. The excitement over AI reflects its potential to improve health care in many ways, including helping health care providers save time on administrative tasks and supporting certain types of patient interactions.
While AI applications in health care hold much promise, they also present serious potential risks, challenges, and unintended consequences that must be considered and addressed. Health systems and health care professionals need to better understand the quality and safety implications of AI tools and how to responsibly harness these tools to facilitate both day-to-day and aspirational quality and safety in care delivery.
With the proliferation of AI and genAI applications in health care, it is necessary to examine how to appropriately integrate AI technologies into clinical workflows and health care operations with careful attention to the impact on patient care and safety, workforce safety and well-being, and the health care sector as a whole.
