Why Patients Get Delayed
A Theory of Constraints
perspective on unnecessary
increases in length of stay
By Alex Dinham, QFI Consulting
Delayed patient discharge and unnecessary, non-clinically justified extensions to length of stay are an endemic and costly problem in advanced healthcare systems worldwide. Length of stay increases risk to many patients and is associated with poor service levels. It also consumes huge resource at a time when many systems are seeking to save money. This paper attempts to explain, from a Theory of Constraints perspective, the process and human psychological dynamics that, when improperly managed, combine to make delays almost inevitable. It will be of interest to healthcare professionals and managers of all descriptions who seek a more in-depth understanding of how the phenomena described play out and their effects on a healthcare system.
