More than five years after its launch, the Judy Reitz Capacity Command Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine continues to deliver powerful operational efficiencies that improve care delivery.

By bringing together analytics, artificial intelligence and decision-makers in one place, the Command Center helps Johns Hopkins better manage patient care, experience, volume, and flow. That’s an enormous improvement over the patient throughput challenges that were the impetus for the deployment of the Command Center. Back then, backlogs, bottlenecks, and patient holds negatively impacted the patient experience. Now, the Command Center is an internationally recognized model of excellence.
