Review of Patient Flow Management in Prince Edward Island (PEI)

The proposed research project aims to review the patient flow management structure on Prince Edward Island (PEI) while making recommendations for future directions to implement a 24/7 resilient patient bed-flow
framework. By developing this system the project seeks to optimize resource utilization, while enhancing patient care and outcomes. Through monitoring bed use and assessing trends in bed-flow systems, the project targets to reduce wait time by increasing access to beds for PEI patients. The ultimate goal of the project is therefore to provide timely and effective care to patients through a defined patient bed-flow model which can be implemented in similar health care jurisdictions across Canada. The project will assess the current system and recommend necessary improvements to ensure the right care is provided at the right time, in the right place.
