    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Busy male medical wards often face challenges with patient flow and bed availability.
    • Efficient patient management is crucial for optimizing healthcare resources.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a single programmed investigation bed on patient admission times and length of stay.
    • To assess the utility of a dedicated bed in a busy male medical ward.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a single programmed investigation bed within a male medical ward.
    • Monitoring patient admission waiting times before and after bed introduction.
    • Tracking patient length of stay in the ward.

    Main Results:

    • Patients experienced significantly shorter waiting times for admission.
