1. Selected Opportunity:
The selected opportunity is the need for better logistical management of patients being admitted into the ER, in order to reduce wait-time at the normal peak hours.
2. Product or Service for this Opportunity to provide customers:
The product will be an app that displays the current layout of beds available and beds taken in the ER. This app is accessible to every staff member in the department, encouraged to be used by the admittance team. The app includes all ability to input the information of the patient and the information of the current logistical layout. This will account for current staffing metrics and current facility layout. The service will be offered to any of the hospital ER departments, first and foremost Shands ER. The product will also reveal and predict wait-times or influx of patients based on previous trends.
The app will require a purchase and must be encrypted. There will be messaging functions that allow medical staff to communicate over current changes in logistics. There will also be a version accessible to patients, potentially integrated into a UF Shands app, where patients can track their status during wait-time, which increases their overall patient experience at the hospital.
