Effective bed management is crucial for several reasons:
Patient Flow: It ensures a smooth flow of patients through the hospital, reducing waiting times and overcrowding. Resource Utilization: Optimizes the use of available resources, including staff, equipment, and facilities. Patient Safety: Reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections and ensures that patients are placed in the most appropriate care settings. Cost Efficiency: Helps in reducing operational costs by minimizing unnecessary bed occupancy and promoting efficient discharge planning.
