Orange Hospital
Setting: 26 bed acute medical unit.
Summary: Significantly reduced their adjusted cost of stay per patient, despite a significant increase in Patient Clinical Complexity Level. The unit also reduced mortality and need for clinical reviews.

Setting 2: 16 bed aged medical-surgical unit
Summary: Implemented SIBR on 2 units and saw a variety of benefits including improvements in staff satisfaction, length of stay, 30-day readmissions, throughput, and patient satisfaction.
Yale New Haven Health
Setting: 32-bed gen-med teaching unit.
Summary: SIBR significantly improved perceptions of IPC (interprofessional communication) and workplace efficiency, which are two important domains of healthcare quality.
