Capacity Planning

For many hospitals, the lack of real-time patient information forces them to concentrate on costly 'fire fighting' rather than managing the capacity of the workforce and resources in a systematic way.

What is needed is high efficiency workforce capacity and winter planning that matches anticipated variations in day-to-day and longer-term demand to deliver better patient care, improved efficiency and the cost-effective use of resources.

Hospital Capacity Planning Blog

Hospital Capacity Planning Blog – The Journey to successful Bed Management – A joint blog with Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust on their ongoing their Journey to successful Bed Management working with Atos Healthcare.

The Atos Healthcare and Emendo CapPlan solution addresses these issues through a unique combination of forecasting and information and analysis, to guide decision-making. Capacity Planning allows you to:

Accurately predict optimum resourcing and staff levels
Balance cost and operational requirements
Achieve cost-reductions
Increase patient throughput and satisfaction
Create and benefit from new revenue opportunities.

Our solution combines consulting services, specialised software, status monitoring, management tools, and staff training – all integrated into a modular structure comprising inpatient bed, Accident & Emergency, and theatre components.

The result is a confident ability to fulfil patient care and flow objectives day-by-day, throughout a hospital and across the individual needs of departments with differing patient profiles and requirements:

Patients are far less likely to have their planned stay cancelled
Clinical and nursing staff manage daily coordination based on actual requirements
Staff planning is evidence-based and aligned to workloads
Essential information is available to all staff in real-time.

We recognise that implementing CapPlan is a major decision with hospital-wide implications around expenditure, training and change management. We therefore offer a CapPlan Inpatient Discovery pilot project. At the end of 16 weeks, a hospital will be in a position to use CapPlan to effectively manage end-to-end patient flow as well as wait times and activity costs.
