Healthcare predictive analytics will change the way you manage your workforce. As a result, you will be able to develop better schedules sooner tied to accurate predictions of staffing needs.
With healthcare predictive analytics from Avantas, the forecasts start 120 days in advance of the shift. These forecasts of staffing needs are updated weekly for each unit. When you know how many staff you need, you can make better schedules further in advance. More predictable schedules results in happier staff.
We incorporate modern modeling techniques and machine learning methodologies to forecast staffing needs starting 120 days out from the shift. This helps organizations create better schedules and staffing plans sooner.
Updated weekly, these predictions pass through the staffing matrices for each unit/service area, clearly identifying predicted demand versus staff supply.
Initial forecasts are developed 120 days in advance of the shift.
