Description
Healthcare often involves numerous professionals from different disciplines and specific resources can be critical to their availability. This is extremely prevalent in various patient groups within hospitals, but the same phenomenon exists in other healthcare sectors such as homecare, mental healthcare and nursing and care. Coordinating the schedules of the professionals and the availability of the necessary critical resources for a client’s care is the area of focus for ORTEC Client Planning.
The challenge is to organize the medium and long-term capacity formation and short-term deployment of capacity in such a manner that high-quality care is provided in a client-friendly and efficient manner.
Client planning driven multi-resource capacity management within the various sectors includes the following:
- In hospitals; operation room scheduling, intensive care scheduling, bed scheduling, staff scheduling and their correlation with respect to patient logistics.
- Intramural and extramural care in the homecare and nursing and care sectors.
