The $10 Million Line of Hospital Code

This simple code saved $10M by fixing one bottleneck. Discover how automating small decisions unlocks huge margins and streamlines your operations today.

If you’ve ever watched an ambulance idling outside ED with its lights still flashing, you know the feeling: every extra minute is a patient stuck in pain and a crew stuck off the road.

Last month a quiet experiment at Lyell McEwin Hospital proved we don’t need a new billion-dollar wing to fix that — we just need better timing.

What happened?

Doctors and nurses trialled a simple tool called the Adelaide Score. It’s a tiny AI that lives inside the existing patient record and answers one question:

“Is this person ready to go home tomorrow?”

Every time a nurse charts obs, or a doctor taps in ward-round notes, the Score digests the lot and flashes a percentage.
