Solving Patient Flow Challenges in 24 Minutes

A hospital was struggling with patient flow—teams couldn’t see how their challenges connected. The solution? We used real data to create an hour-by-hour simulation of patient movement over 24 hours—but played it out in just 24 minutes.

Leaders watching the simulation saw the bottlenecks in real-time and left with a clear list of actions to improve flow. Seeing the problem made solving it easier.
