CHI Franciscan s Mission Control Command Center bullpen
CHI Franciscan, the Pacific Northwest Division of CommonSpirit Health, consists of 12 hospitals with more than 12,000 employees – including over 8,000 providers and nurses, more than 200 primary and specialty care clinics, and a clinically integrated network with over 5,000 providers. The 1,300-bed health system, one of the largest in Washington state, sees nearly 325,000 emergency department visits and more than 300,000 inpatient days each year.
THE PROBLEM
In August 2019, six months before the pandemic hit, CHI Franciscan partnered with GE Healthcare to launch the state s first Mission Control Command Center to enhance patient safety, seamlessly manage patient flow, schedule procedures, and ultimately get patients home sooner.
