XFERALL automates tasks to reduce administrative burden and maximize care capacity
Hospitals of all sizes across the country are experiencing an unprecedented workforce shortage. The shortage is particularly acute for nurses, and hospitals are facing annualized contract labor costs in 2022 of more than $400 million above pre-pandemic levels and almost 4 percent higher than 2021 amounts.
The pandemic’s prolonged strain on hospital capacity and resources caused nurses and other staff to resign, demand significantly higher wages, or take higher paying positions with temporary staffing/contract labor agencies. The result is that hospitals expect contract labor costs – both rates and hours – to be higher than at any point in the pandemic.
XFERALL can help.
Hospital teams that use XFERALL have the tools and resources necessary to more effectively and efficiently manage patient throughput and reduce administrative inefficiencies and costs.
Using XFERALL’s automated patient transfer network, hospital teams can:
Reduce ED length of stay and costs and improve throughput to create additional capacity
Reduce patient transfer times to reduce ED overcrowding
Maximize the care capacity that exists in the health care system
Eliminate the need for nurses and other clinicians to make labor-intensive phone calls and faxes to identify available care for patients needing transfer.
By reducing administrative burdens and operational inefficiencies, XFERALL helps address burnout and maximizes the time nurses can spend caring for patients.
XFERALL empowers health care systems and providers to quickly identify medical and behavioral hospitals with the capacity and capability to accept patients for transfer. The XFERALL technology automates the patient transfer process, creating less work for the health care provider and improving emergency department capacity by reducing transfer times. Over the last two years, even during the pandemic, we have reduced patient transfer times by 86 percent.
Using XFERALL’s mobile platform, clinicians no longer have to perform a series of numerous, repetitive, and time-consuming steps to identify facilities with available beds, resources, and clinically appropriate staff to accept patient transfers. Hospitals that need to transfer patients and those with the capacity to accept those transfers communicate efficiently and directly over the XFERALL app. The result is that they can focus more on patient care, and patients get the essential care they need more quickly.
Contact XFERALL to see how we can help your clinicians more efficiently manage acute medical and behavioral health patient transfers and maximize and support your hospital’s most valuable resource – your staff.
