ABSTRACT
This narrative review discusses the effects of implementing command centers, centralized management systems, supported by information technology, predictive analytics, and real-time data, as well as small-scale centralized operating systems, on patient outcomes, operation, care delivery, and resource utilization. Implementations of command centers and small-scale centralized operating systems have led to improvement in 3 areas: integration of both multiple services into the day-to-day operation, communication and coordination, and employment of prediction and early warning system. Additional studies are required to understand the full impact of command centers on the healthcare system.
