About Course

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

Module 6 of When Beds Don't Move: The Course. Learn how hospitals keep alignment for months, not days: why every hospital drifts and what keeps drift from settling, why a fully standardized hospital can still fail on timing, how to build drift detectors with Yellow thresholds, pre-agreed responses, and named owners, and why flow is a posture rather than a project. 1.5 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 every hospital drifts, and why drift returns after a successful fix
  • Why a fully standardized hospital can still fail on timing
  • How to define normal operationally and build drift detectors that fire at Yellow
  • How to give the person closest to the signal authority to make the small fix
  • Why flow is a posture, not a project, and how to start in your first thirty days
