W2: Building Alignment and Rhythm for Whole-of-Hospital Flow: Operational Cadence to Unite Teams and Drive Improvement (Part 1)


Wednesday 19 November 2025 | 11:00-13:00


Format: Workshop


Patient flow is a whole-of-hospital responsibility – but often lacks a shared, reliable rhythm. This workshop introduces the concept of a “hospital drum beat”: a deliberate operational cadence that aligns executive, clinical, operational, and improvement leaders across the system. Through real-world examples and improvement science principles, participants will explore how to embed routines that strengthen coordination, responsiveness, and flow. Whether you’re a hospital executive, clinician, operations leader, patient flow coordinator, or improvement advisor, you’ll leave with practical insights to energise teams, strengthen governance, and drive meaningful, measurable impact.
