Optimize capacity, accelerate performance
Connect predictive analytics, operational expertise, and proven frameworks to optimize patient flow, reduce bottlenecks, and drive measurable performance gains.
Capacity problems are enterprise problems now
Emergency department holds, inpatient bottlenecks, ambulatory demand growth, and workforce limits are no longer separate operational issues. They affect access, care delivery performance, and financial sustainability at the same time.
Vizient helps organizations respond with a more connected capacity and throughput strategy.
In practice
Proven performance gains
Access requires strategic leadership
Patient access is a strategic differentiator, not just logistics. Discover how centralized leadership transforms fragmented workflows.
Navigate the silver tsunami
An aging population drives unprecedented capacity pressures. Transform demographic challenges into sustainable growth.
Solve capacity, from every angle
From ambulatory expansion to equipment planning, discover multipronged strategies that transform capacity challenges into operational wins.
Access is not simply the presence of capacity. It’s the system’s ability to connect individuals to appropriate care—at the right time, in the right place, with the right team—without unnecessary friction or inequity.
Capacity pressure demands multipronged strategy
Emergency department bottlenecks persist as acuity rises and outpatient volumes surge, making integrated capacity planning essential to sustain access and operational performance.
Emergency department bottleneck
77% of health system leaders surveyed say emergency department holds are the most significant capacity constraint
Rising acuity
Between 2019 and 2025, acuity rose approximately 5%
Adult outpatient volumes
Adult outpatient volumes are forecast to grow 18% over the next decade
