EP 6-7 earns Capacity Champions Cup for second time

Congratulations to EP 6-7 (Medicine) staff, who received Yale New Haven Hospital’s Capacity Champions Cup award for the second time. The award recognizes units that meet their discharge target the most days in the previous month. It is part of Yale New Haven Health’s efforts to improve patient throughput by ensuring that patients who are clinically ready to leave the acute-care setting experience a safe and timely discharge. In addition to enhancing the quality and safety of care, efficient patient throughput helps ease overcrowding on inpatient units and in the emergency departments.
