Regional Hospital Network Improves ED Throughput, Reduces LWBS by 50%

About the Client

The client is a regional integrated delivery network (IDN) operating a 1,200-bed hospital system. During peak seasons, especially flu surges, emergency departments faced significant patient flow challenges. Delays in triage, registration, and bed allocation impacted care delivery. To improve throughput and patient experience, the network partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

Door-to-Doctor Time Reduced from 4.2 Hours to 2.1 Hour
LWBS Reduced from 28% to 14%

Business Challenges

Business ChallengesThe hospital network struggled with prolonged emergency department (ED) wait times, especially during seasonal spikes. Patients experienced delays between arrival and physician consultation, with door-to-doctor times averaging over four hours.These delays led to a high left-without-being-seen (LWBS) rate of 28%, directly impacting patient outcomes and hospital revenue. Operational inefficiencies across triage, registration, bed management, and pharmacy verification created bottlenecks in patient flow.Care teams lacked real-time visibility into ED operations, making it difficult to coordinate resources and prioritize critical cases. Disconnected systems further slowed decision-making and increased administrative burden.The organization needed a unified, real-time system to streamline ED workflows and improve patient throughput.
