title: Developing capabilities for real-time capacity management.
abstract: A key healthcare reform strategy for hospital executives this year will be determining how capacity management can improve overall performance. Real-time data can give a hospital the kind of business intelligence it needs to make the most of what it has, act as an early warning system for problems, and provide the hospital with the tools to make long-term improvements. True enterprise management systems promise to deliver bottom-line impact that may be greater and more immediate than the conversion to electronic medical records.
