Choreo-ED

FAQ

ED Director / Chief Nursing Officer

Pharmacy teams can initiate reviews before the decision-to-admit (DTA) is finalized. This eliminates waiting for the DTA and avoids bottlenecks in the admission process.

Consults, such as physical therapy or psychiatric evaluations, can be scheduled earlier. Knowing about a likely admission 2 hours in advance allows more efficient use of time and resources.

The model is trained on your hospital’s own historical data, ensuring it’s tailored to your unique processes and patient population. Real-time and historical encounters ensure the model stays up-to-date and effective. The implementation process includes identifying specific workflow integration points to ensure it aligns with your operations.

The model only anticipates admissions when it is highly certain, recognizing there are scenarios it cannot fully anticipate. Admissions that Choreo-ED doesn’t anticipate follow the same workflow your team is currently following.

By anticipating discharges up to 2.5 hours in advance, the AEDD model gives time to coordinate ancillary services required to prepare a patient’s safe departure from the ED. This supports smoother throughput and a better overall ED experience.

ED Physician

Choreo-ED is not intended to replace any hospital staff or make clinical decisions. It’s designed to assist care teams, particularly on the back end, by moving operations from reactive to proactive.

At times, physicians know whether or not a patient will be admitted from the second they step into the ED. Choreo-ED automates and standardizes the workflows that follow this intuition, ensuring timely downstream action from care teams and allowing physicians to focus on patient care. A traditionally time-consuming process, Choreo-ED reduces friction to help initiate patient
admission and discharge far earlier.

When a likely admission is identified, staff can begin preparing beds, coordinating with hospitalists, and notifying ancillary services earlier. Similarly, early discharge predictions allow nursing, pharmacy, and transport teams to prepare patients so they wait no longer than necessary to leave the ED. Together these insights streamline communication, reduce bottlenecks, and create smoother patient transitions across the care continuum. 

Hospitalist

Targeting and identifying the clear cut dispositions as early as possible, Choreo-ED is designed
to enable more time for methodical decision making. Fast decision making can create an inherent tension within the patient flow, Choreo-ED is designed to resolve that.

Nurse

Choreo-ED reduces cognitive load for nurses by anticipating both admissions and discharges in real time. With the ADTA and AEDD models, care teams gain early visibility into which patients are likely to be admitted or discharged, allowing them to plan proactively rather than react to last-minute changes. This helps reduce the stress of managing multiple transitions at once, smooths handoffs between shifts, and minimizes the sense of “batched” admissions or discharges that often occur in reactive workflows. Ultimately, it allows nurses to focus more on patient care and less on coordinating throughput.

Improving coordination across care teams can result in a more seamless and positive patient
experience. Choreo-ED empowers staff with updates for patients and family members, helping ease stress and allow for preparation. If a patient will likely need to stay overnight, care teams can notify the patient’s family to pack an overnight bag or coordinate transportation sooner in
advance.

Chief Financial Officer

Choreo can identify inpatient admissions early, which affords more time to coordinate any potential transfer to other hospitals in the system.

Improved LWBS rates, reduced ED LOS and improved patient satisfaction are measurable outcomes of improved patient flow, helping generate more revenue for the hospital in the form of more patients and higher CMS stars ratings.

Chief Operating Officer

Choreo-ED makes the ED-to-inpatient pipeline more visible, improving staff alignment in transport, nursing and bed management and helping care teams anticipate the daily inpatient census. This model supports continuous improvement in the patient flow.

Those responsible for patient flow and throughput in the ED will find their workflows simplified. Choreo helps reduce cognitive load by preparing the team ahead of the decision, enabling quicker and easier decision-making.

Throughput coordinators or similar roles who manage patient transitions from the ED to inpatient care would benefit the most. Hospitals without these roles would still see streamlined
workflows and reduced cognitive loads for staff.

Choreo-ED fully integrates into the EHR workflow without disrupting the team or adding complexity. The model is highly accurate, taking existing workflows and optimizing them—no additional tools or extra clicks required.

Chief Medical Information Officer

Choreo-ED seamlessly integrates with existing EHRs, like Epic, and generates actionable insights
directly into existing track boards without disrupting workflows.

Choreo-ED is SOC2 certified, and its HIPAA-compliant architecture is designed to scale safely across departments and facilities. Requiring a lightweight integration, the application needs
minimal IT overhead.

Chief Quality Officer

Choreo-ED can decrease ED LOS and boarding times and reduce patient complaints related to
delays or lack of communication, improving patient experience and satisfaction. In addition, Choreo-ED supports equity by applying consistent logic across all patient presentations and
providers.
