Patient flow refers to the movement of patients through a healthcare facility, from admission or intake through treatment, discharge, or transfer, with the goal of minimizing wait times and bottlenecks. Hospital administrators, nurses, and operations staff manage patient flow to improve efficiency, reduce overcrowding in areas like emergency departments, and enhance the overall patient experience. It often involves scheduling systems, bed management, and coordination across departments.
