52% Faster Patient Discharge Process via AI BPMN Transformation
Patient Admission Process and Patient Discharge Process
How to achieve faster patient admission process and patient discharge process?
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect optimized the patient discharge process, reducing average waiting time from 4.8 hours to 2.3 hours, dramatically improving bed turnover and patient flow.
1. Current State - Resource Wait Times
4.8 Hours Average | Low Bed Turnover
2. Target State - Dragon1 AI BPMN Optimized
2.3 Hours Average | Parallelized Handovers

€1.2M
Estimated annual savings from increased capacity (bed-days recovered).
0%
Rate of key discharge tasks missed (e.g., medication review, follow-up scheduling).
The Enterprise Result: Transformation Metrics
52%
Faster Patient Discharge Process (AI) (4.8 hrs to 2.3 hrs).
Improves patient satisfaction and maximizes revenue through efficient bed utilization.
30%
Reduction in Readmission Rate (30-day).
Ensured comprehensive discharge documentation and follow-up planning.
Coordination
Real-Time Task Synchronization across Departments.
AI monitors task completion (pharmacy, transport, billing), designs the hospital admission risk program, and triggers the next step automatically, eliminating unnecessary waits.
AI BPMN Detailed Process Comparison: Before and After
1. Current State (As-Is): The 4.8-Hour Stagnation
The discharge process (BPMN) was highly dependent on sequential, manual communication between nurses, physicians, transport, and billing, leading to an average Discharge Time of 4.8 hours.
| Pharmacy Medication Review | Pharmacist review and preparation of take-home medication was a critical sequential step that often caused a 2-hour wait delay. | Major source of waiting time, delaying bed availability. |
2. Future State (To-Be): The 2.3-Hour AI Optimized Blueprint
The Dragon1 AI BPMN Process Architect generated the Future State model, implementing parallel task assignment and automated digital alerts, achieving a Discharge Time of 2.3 hours (a 52% reduction).
| Parallel Discharge Tasking (AI) | Medication preparation, transport scheduling, and billing finalization are all triggered simultaneously upon physician sign-off. | Eliminated sequential bottlenecks, saving over 2 hours of waiting time. |
