Abstract

Background: Increasing Hospital capacity to cover the service demands is an important priorityduring an epidemic or a pandemic. The aim of this study was to increase Hospital capacity usingthe Six sigma method to improve the Patient discharge process. Methods: This was a quantitative study. The Pre-and post-intervention study was conducted big Hospital designated for COVID-19 patients. The Patient discharge process was evaluated improved based on seven sub-processes and following the Six sigma model, including definingthe problem, measuring time in each of the discharge stations, analysis times and process, improvement process, and control. Results: Implementation of the electronic Patient discharge led to a 51. 9% decrease in dischartime from 7. 3 , h during the pre-intervention period to 3. 8 , h post-intervention (P< , 0. 0001). According to the Sigma level, the yield and defects per million opportunities of the discharprocess also improved to 55%. Conclusion: Increasing Hospital capacity by improving the discharge time is a quick action cover the demand created during pandemics. Also, about 32 beds can be obtained by applying the Six sigma model to improve the discharge process in a short time and at a very low cost.
