When the patient flow process stalls, scrutiny often falls on the Environment Services (EVS) department responsible for cleaning and preparing beds for new patients. More than just traditional bed tracking, Sunrise Bed Turnover™ from Eclipsys, a core component of the Sunrise Patient Flow™ enterprise performance system, provides EVS managers with real-time automated bed tracking, workflow and job routing to keep things moving without micromanagement of staff and processes. EVS departments can elevate their performance and contribute positively to a hospital’s drive for higher patient throughput through improved hospital patient flow.

As soon as a bed is vacated, the Web-based Sunrise Bed Turnover system dispatches an electronic cleaning request. Then the system intelligently load-balances work depending on staff availability and location, and uses automated pager alerts and multilingual, interactive voice response (IVR) technology to allocate tasks to the appropriate team members. EVS managers can monitor bed status and turnover activity in real time, and can track staff productivity using comprehensive embedded reporting.

Sunrise Bed Turnover enables enterprise visibility, automated instantaneous communications and inter- and intra-department workflows and patient care management, which drives coordinated clinical workflow and improved resource utilization.
