Conclusion

I do hope you have enjoyed this book on managing hospital capacity. The focus is really on the patient. A well-run hospital incorporating components within this book will be light years ahead in the healthcare delivery of patients. I suspect that slowly over the next 30 or 40 years, a number of these processes will be implemented in some way, shape, or form in our Healthcare system. There is currently a major focus on patient flow and patient safety within hospitals. I would encourage more investment in capacity management because the impacts of it will result in a much safer experience for the patient and a much more efficient system to move the patient through the complexities of the healthcare system.

I hope this book becomes your roadmap in hospital capacity management improvement and provides your patients and your organization great success in the future. Thanks for your interest and your time.
