The bed is ready.

The bed is ready. The order is written. So why hasn't the patient moved yet? Patient transport delay is one of the quietest capacity killers in hospital operations — and most facilities are still running it on manual radio calls and paper lists. When transport is reactive instead of coordinated, whole departments stall, bed turnover slows, and downstream departments absorb the backlog. Real-time dispatch, demand forecasting, and zone-based assignment aren't futuristic — they're already reducing idle time in hospitals that have made the switch. The question isn't whether your transport flow has gaps. It's whether you can see them.
