She had noticed how patients frequently remained in the waiting room for extended periods, sometimes more than 24 hours after discharge. In some cases, staff members paid out-of-pocket to help patients get home.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, patients were responsible for arranging their own transportation home, typically relying on family, friends or limited local services. Options such as rideshare apps were not consistently available, leaving many patients without reliable solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Through data collection and staff feedback, Smith found that most discharged patients with transportation barriers had been unable to find available transportation services or lacked a way to pay for them. She researched solutions, collaborated with case management, improved staff awareness of transportation resources and worked to standardize the discharge process.<\/p>\n<p>Smith successfully advocated for and secured UCHealth funding to implement a voucher system with Front Range Rides, providing patients with reliable, 24\/7 transportation home. This led to measurable improvements, including a reduction in distance-related delays from 69% to 20%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, this project improved patient flow, reduced delays after discharge, and enhanced both patient and staff experience,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have played a major role in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_93086\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93086\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93086\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/20101155\/UCHealth-Pikes-Peak-Regional-Hospital-Emergency-Dept-web9.webp\" alt=\"Exterior of Pikes Peak Regional HospitalEmergency department entrance at the rear of Pikes Peak Regional Hospital.
