Investing in a New Role to Increase Timely Morning Discharges in the Inpatient Setting
Discharges before noon significantly increased after the addition of a staff member dedicated to discharge tasks. Additional staffing represents a large investment, and additional studies are needed to quantify the financial impact of this intervention. Future targeted work to address persistent disparities in discharges before noon for racial and ethnic minority patients and those who use an LOE is also needed.
