Reengineering Patient Discharge with Lean Methodology and RED Framework: A Model for Safer, Faster, Patient-Centered Transitions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Reorganizing the hospital discharge process to enhance patient experience and reduce avoidable readmissions and costs is an ongoing challenge. At Al Hada Armed Forces Hospital (Taif, Saudi Arabia), we identified a significant issue with the effectiveness and efficiency of our discharge process, with a noticeable effect on patient experience on the basis of Press Ganey surveys (discharge domain). The aim of this project was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the discharge process and to enhance patient health outcomes and experience.

Methods
