3 Insights

Short, data-driven observations about patient logistics that reframe how you think about operations. The kind of thing you'll reference in your next leadership meeting.

1 Question to Consider

A thought-provoking question that challenges assumptions about how your organization moves patients. The kind that sparks a better conversation in your next ops meeting.

Built for the people who move patients

The Dispatch is written for hospital operations leaders (CNO, COO, VP Operations), ambulance and NEMT company owners, and health system IT directors. If you've ever spent your morning untangling a transport delay or wondering why discharge-to-departure takes 3 hours, this newsletter is for you.

From the founder of VectorCare

I'm David Emanuel. I started VectorCare because I saw that patient logistics was treated as a scheduling problem when it's actually an infrastructure problem. Every week, I share what I'm learning from working with 2,500+ healthcare facilities on how to move patients better. No sales pitches. Just the patterns, data, and questions I think are worth your time.

Have a question or topic you'd like covered? Reply to any issue — I read every response. david@vectorcare.com
