Most health systems have built programs that deliver results for specific populations: cancer patients, high-risk cardiology cases, post-discharge transitions. The harder question: what happens to everyone else? Rising-risk patients with one or two chronic conditions often cycle through primary care…

Across hospitals, patient flow challenges are playing out daily — delayed discharges, constrained capacity and growing pressure on emergency departments. These issues rarely start in one department. They reflect how effectively patients move across the entire system, from admission through…
