Background: The timing of discharges of admitted patients has a significant impact on hospital efficiency and throughput. Earlier discharges are associated with improved boarding times, admissions arriving to inpatient units earlier in the day, and decreased length of stay. Discharges that occur later in the day creates a bottleneck effect, causing emergency room congestion, overcrowding, […]
