Lazomis Patient Flow
Understand flow. Act on delays. Evidence improvement.
Lazomis Patient Flow helps healthcare organisations turn operational information into practical action. It brings together ward coordination, objective patient-flow measurement, hidden-capacity analysis and improvement planning.
The tools are designed to make delays, risks, outstanding actions and improvement opportunities more visible without replacing clinical judgement or the organisation's clinical record.
Ward Flow
Bring safety huddles, board rounds, patient flow and action tracking into one structured operational view.
The Ward Flow demonstrator shows how teams can coordinate daily ward activity, identify risks and barriers, assign actions and turn routinely collected information into useful dashboards.
The live tool is configured for each organisation's wards, workflows, terminology, governance requirements, user roles and technical environment.
Ward Flow brings together
- Safety huddles
- Board rounds
- SHOP categorisation
- Objective Red2Green assessment
- Multiple actions and owners for each patient
- Potential-discharge tracking
- Ward safety and flow dashboards
- Huddle snapshots
- Trends in delays, risks and completed actions
Staff record structured information against each occupied bed. Safety-huddle summaries, Red2Green results and ward dashboards update automatically, reducing repeated documentation and making operational information easier to use.
Red2Green status is calculated from objective questions rather than selected subjectively by individual staff members.
Hidden Capacity
Structured reviews of inpatient and outpatient pathways, based on the data your organisation holds.
Inpatient Hidden Capacity
Can help organisations:
- Examine the patient journey retrospectively
- Identify when required events were requested and completed
- Quantify additional inpatient time where the available data support this
- Identify recurring pathway bottlenecks
- Examine differences between weekday and weekend processes
- Highlight missing operational standards
- Create prioritised improvement actions
- Evaluate whether changes release capacity
Additional inpatient time is not automatically avoidable; each finding is interpreted in its clinical and operational context.
Outpatient Hidden Capacity
Can help organisations examine:
- Clinic utilisation
- Cancelled and unfilled capacity
- Booking and attendance
- Clinic continuity and cross-cover
- Workforce contribution
- Supporting-resource constraints
- Job-plan alignment
- Pooling and consolidation opportunities
- Patient-initiated follow-up where appropriate
- Recovery scenarios, costs and implementation requirements
- Subsequent verification of realised improvement
How the work proceeds

Agree the operational question and available data.
Measure
Collect or analyse structured evidence.
Explain
Identify recurring pathways, bottlenecks and hidden capacity.
Improve
Develop owned, measurable actions and model potential solutions.
Verify
Assess whether changes produced the expected improvement.
