Key capabilities

Hospital Kyraflow Kiosk

Clinic Management

  •  The combination of journey board views, calling displays, wayfinding maps, self-check-in kiosks and an intuitive patient engagement mobile application, help support a seamless experience for clinicians, patients, and administrative staff in an outpatient, services and multidisciplinary clinic setting.
  • Teams have access to a consolidated view of every patient appointment, allowing them to coordinate flow within the clinic, from which you can expect to see an improvement in patient experience and department utilisation, as well as a reduction in fail-to-attend rates and operations costs.
Hospital Kyraflow Inpatient

In-patient and Bed Management

  • Journey Boards capture and present the near real-time patient journey from admission to discharge, while also incorporating key patient status information from other hospital systems such as patient admission system, pathology, radiology, electronic medical records and diet systems.
  • Bed Management Dashboards allow staff to constantly monitor admissions, discharges and patient flow and identify the availability of beds across every ward, particularly during periods of high demand
Hospital Kyraflow Ed

Emergency Department View

  • Kyra Flow’s ED Journey Board provides a concise view of the number of patients in the department by triage category, wait time and pre-defined performance targets. Staff can expect improved efficiencies in department communication, decision to admit and appropriate in-bed allocation, as well as a reduction in administrative duties and inefficiencies that commonly
    lead to bottlenecks and ambulance ramping.
Hospital Kyraflow Theatre

Theatre Flow Data and Tracking

  • Kyra Flow’s Theatre Journey Board helps to improve poor visibility of patient flow by providing staff with timely access to Theatre flow data and enable the tracking of patients across admission, theatre, recovery and discharge, while simultaneously being alerted to current or potential delays. It also assists in proactive capacity planning and smooth transfers to Ward
    allocated beds.

  • How does Kyra Flow work?

    Hospital setting

    Kyra Flow can help your teams to provide a better patient experience with enhanced visibility of the patient’s journey. It can help reduce waiting times through the various transition stages during their care.

    Key patient information such as demographics, clinical alerts, allied health referrals and discharge planning is displayed at a glance. Staff can easily see what actions are outstanding to progress the patient in their hospital journey:

    • Waiting for admission from the Emergency Department: Ward staff have visibility of expected ED patients, this can encourage the wards to pull the patient from ED rather than ED having to “push” the patient to the ward.
    • Waiting for admission to ward post-theatre: Ward staff have near real-time visibility of the status of their expected patients; ‘in theatre’, ‘in recovery’ and ‘ready for ward’. Nursing staff can receive automatic alerts via SMS, pager or email to inform them when a patient is ready to be collected.
    • Waiting for transition from Intensive Care Unit to a ward: Ward staff have visibility of expected transfers from ICU. This assists wards to prioritise this transfer and prepare for incoming patients.
    • Waiting for discharge: Clinicians have visibility of discharge planning activities and outstanding tasks that need to be completed to prepare the patient for discharge.
    • Waiting for Pharmacy medications on discharge: Patient Flow Manager can either integrate with the hospital script management system or script information can be captured within the system to provide visibility to staff of the status of the discharge script; ‘requested’, ‘sent to pharmacy’, ‘dispensed’ ‘given to patient’.
