White Paper

Building the Foundation for Sophisticated Capacity Management in Hospitals

Abstract/Description:

As the healthcare industry continues to recover from COVID-19, a transformation is taking shape. Hospitals are increasingly turning to AI and predictive analytics for fresh approaches to managing constrained healthcare assets such as inpatient beds and operating rooms.

Growth in patient volume will continue to rise as the nation's population ages and chronic disease rates increase. As a result, hospitals need to be more efficient with their resources than ever before. This means capacity management must become one of the most important areas for hospitals to focus on.

In this whitepaper, you'll learn:

• Why current methods of allocating and managing capacity are simply inadequate to meet the challenge's growing complexity
• What mathematical concepts underlie successful capacity management, and what healthcare can learn from the industries that have unlocked them
• How health systems are using tools to solve their mathematical challenges and achieve stunning improvements in their capacity
