Case Study: Springhill Medical Center doubles patient volume with Altera Digital Health's Sunrise Emergency Care

Springhill Medical Center - Customer Case Study

Springhill Medical Center, a private hospital in Mobile, Alabama, sought to double its emergency department's patient volume from 25,000 to 50,000 yearly visits without a corresponding significant increase in staffing. To meet this challenge, the medical center implemented the Sunrise™ Emergency Care solution from vendor Altera Digital Health.

By utilizing Altera Digital Health's integrated platform, Springhill gained crucial data analysis to optimize staff scheduling and created streamlined workflows that reduced patient wait times and admission bottlenecks. This solution enabled the hospital to successfully reach its goal of 50,000 annual ED visits in under two years, improving efficiency and fostering better communication and patient care coordination across departments.
