Executive Summary
The motive of the quality improvement initiative that needs to be implemented after
approval from the boards of directors of a medium-sized healthcare institution who are
widely known for providing healthcare to the children in the region of New York, is to
eliminate or reduce delays in discharge of babies. It can be noted that bed capacity
management is becoming a critical issue in the hospitals as well as in the nursing homes,
mainly because of inefficient discharges which possess direct impact on the flow of the
number of patients, slow pace in care and rise in the costs (McFadden, Stock & Gowen III,
2015). The overall system takes a lot of time and this the area in which the management has
focused to improve their quality towards delay in discharges. The initiative is taken by the
public relations team, who are facing troubles in facing the number of complaints from the
parents who are not getting enough care and beds due to the delay in discharge of the already
occupied beds. Lack of inefficiency in the overall system is hampering the flow in admissions
and transfers, which are leading to bed occupancies still after the given duration of time in a
day (Bromer & Korfmacher, 2017).
