“In health systems where it has been adopted, it improves operational efficiency to support frontline caregivers, helps to streamline patient flow, predict bottlenecks and delays, and balance workloads and resources. The system can support hospitals’ goals to ensure that patients are treated in the wards best suited to manage their often-complex care, with the potential to reduce the need for additional wards and beds. Command Center helps operational leaders manage hospital-wide efficiency and improve care coordination through advanced algorithms and real-time insights, which could ultimately enhance hospital performance.”
Alfred Health Chief Executive Adam Horsburgh said healthcare is well-suited to harnessing intelligent computer systems that can process vast amounts of patient and hospital data in seconds.

“We are here to provide our patients with excellent and compassionate care, and to be able to do that in the most effective and timely way possible. As our services continue to grow, and are offered in more and more locations, this exciting project promises to support us in continuing this effort for our community,” Mr Horsburgh said.
GE HealthCare Command Center was first launched in 2016. Since then, it has helped hospital operators realize significant operational efficiencies, including reducing costs and patient length of stay: https://www.gehccommandcenter.com/current-outcomes
At the heart of the Command Center is its use of real-time data, where information in tiles (web apps) provides actionable information. In an acute care context where orders, results, locations, and statuses are changing constantly, such timeliness is key to streamlining workflows and improving efficiencies in the system.
“The timeliness enabled by Command Center is markedly different from current practices in health systems. Command Center, using AI, helps to connect the dots across systems in near real time to help predict, spot risks, and prescribe action,” Yadav says.
Alfred Health will begin with a complement of tiles in the Command Center Software Platform, focused on current and forecasted capacity management, patient flow and care delivery.
