L-UX LiveOps in Practice
The true value of the L-UX Platform is realized through its application to specific clinical workflows, driving tangible improvements in efficiency, communication, and patient care.
Use Case 1: Streamlining Ambulatory Clinic Examination Room Workflow
Challenge: Inefficiencies in exam room turnover, leading to patient delays and suboptimal clinician utilization. Ambiguity regarding room readiness for the next patient or required cleaning.
L-UX Solution: L-UX Discs outside each exam room display status (e.g., Available/Green, Occupied/Yellow, Awaiting MD/Blue Blink, Needs Cleaning/Purple). Status updates automatically via integration with the scheduling system or manually via Disc buttons/L-UX LiveOps app. Clinicians and support staff instantly see room status on the L-UX LiveOps floorplan or via physical indicators, directing patient flow and EVS teams efficiently.
Outcome: Reduced patient wait times, optimized clinician movement, faster room turnover, and improved overall clinic throughput.
Use Case 2: Optimizing Workstation on Wheels (WoW) Availability and Maintenance
Challenge: Difficulty locating available, functional WoW carts; significant downtime and costs (~$1000/day) associated with malfunctioning units; inefficient maintenance reporting and response.
L-UX Solution: Each WoW cart is equipped with an L-UX Disc. Staff report issues (e.g., battery low, scanner malfunction) with severity via button press, automatically generating a prioritized ticket in the Asset Management system and L-UX LiveOps. The Disc light indicates status (e.g., Needs Service/Yellow, Unusable/Red). Technicians locate units needing repair via L-UX LiveOps or visual cues, check room access, perform repairs, and close tickets via the Disc. AI predicts potential failures based on usage data.
Outcome: Drastically reduced search time, minimized equipment downtime, streamlined maintenance workflow, proactive repairs preventing failures, and significant cost savings.
Use Case 3: Enhancing Operating Room (OR) Turnover Efficiency
Challenge: Coordinating the multiple steps and teams involved in OR turnover (patient exit, cleaning, setup, next patient entry) leading to delays.
L-UX Solution (Conceptual Application): L-UX Discs outside the OR and potentially linked to key equipment indicate stages (e.g., Procedure Complete/Blue, Cleaning Required/Purple, Setup in Progress/Yellow, Ready for Patient/Green). Updates triggered by staff button presses or integrated systems. L-UX LiveOps provides OR managers real-time oversight of all OR statuses.
Outcome: Improved coordination between surgical teams, EVS, and anesthesia; reduced turnover time; increased OR utilization; smoother scheduling.
Use Case 4: Improving Emergency Department (ED) Patient Flow and Resource Allocation
Challenge: Managing the dynamic status of ED bays, tracking patient location, and ensuring timely availability of staff and portable equipment during surges.
L-UX Solution (Conceptual Application): L-UX Discs on ED bays show occupancy and status (e.g., Awaiting Triage, Awaiting Physician, Needs Imaging, Ready for Discharge). L-UX LiveOps floorplan provides charge nurses with a real-time overview of bay status, patient location (via future BLE tracking ), and critical equipment location (e.g., portable X-ray, ultrasound). AI analyzes flow patterns to identify bottlenecks.
Outcome: Enhanced situational awareness for ED leadership, more efficient patient placement, reduced wait times for consultations or procedures, optimized deployment of staff and resources during peak times.
