About Course

Part of When Beds Don’t Move: The Course, six Flow Physics modules of patient flow training for hospital leaders.

Module 3 of When Beds Don't Move: The Course. Learn how EVS, Transport, and Placement work as one chain: why rooms start the day, why Transport needs spacing more than speed, why adding transporters rarely holds, and how to place admissions by unit bandwidth instead of filling the first open bed. 2.0 CE hours. Counts toward CHTI and CPTMP renewal.

This module is built from Donald Sipp's book When Beds Don't Move, which reached #1 in Hospital Administration and Care on Amazon. The book is not required to take the course.

What Will You Learn?

  • Why EVS is the first visible engine of flow, and how its Activation Window sets the day

  • Why Transport stability comes from spacing, not speed, and why added staff rarely holds
  • How to read Transport as an early signal of the whole hospital's alignment
  • How to place admissions by unit bandwidth instead of the first open bed
