Patient Placement Flowchart Workflow assessment of health information technology (HIT) is essential in changing the efficiency, safety, and quality of practices (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2015). The workflow process promotes the acquirement and application of detailed information which can lead to positive changes, maximize resource utilization and minimize repetitive activities of workflow patterns, so healthcare quality and value significantly improve. The flowchart creates visual graphics to show the steps involved in workflow processes, which allow quick identification of problems and the modification of necessary measures so the effectiveness of a process improves (Laureate Education, Inc., 2012). Workflow technology provides

The hospital house supervisor oversees and manages the clinical component of operational services for the entire hospital and is responsible for the efficiency of patient-flow throughout the hospital. The efficiency of a hospitals functioning depends on the ability of flowcharts to accurately outline the steps of the process, initiate a continuous chain of events, and follow how they proceed troughout the workflow. The functional efficiency of the workflows directly correlate to hospital performance …show more content…
