Why dashboards alone aren't fixing patient flow
Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT
Most hospitals have invested heavily in visibility in the form of dashboards, daily huddle reports, capacity snapshots and more. Yet boarded emergency department patients, delayed discharges and capacity bottlenecks remain stubbornly familiar.
The problem is rarely a lack of data. It is the gap between what the data shows and what teams can act on in time. By the time a daily report surfaces a bottleneck, the bed is already full, the discharge has already slipped and the ED is already holding patients overnight.
Baptist Health Arkansas decided to close that gap.
Cody Walker, President of Baptist Health Medical Center–North Little Rock, will share how Baptist moved past visibility into action by embedding predictive intelligence and automation into core workflows. The phased, data-driven approach delivered a 25% reduction in avoidable opportunity days and 525 fewer boarded ED patients per month.
Learnings include:

- Where dashboards fall short and what replaces them
- How predictive intelligence and automation cut avoidable delays
- The phased model behind Baptist's measurable throughput gains
- How real-time collaboration changes front-line decision-making
