We improved the flow of Supertrack patients by decreasing their length of stay and increasing how many were discharged within their anticipated timeframe. Limitations included an unexpected surge in patients with respiratory complaints and staffing and structural constraints preventing the designation of a discrete Supertrack assessment space with dedicated providers. These findings are helpful for institutions seeking to develop an effective fast-track model with limited space and resources.
