Patient Flow Centres

– decision support at your fingertips

Airports are complex, needing coordination to manage planes, people, and staff. Control centers gather all data to give a complete view. This helps monitor and manage operations effectively by bringing key information together in one place.

Real-time overview and insight
Reliable forecasts
Early detection of bottlenecks

Use digital twins to predict and prevent capacity crises.

Hospitals, like airports, are incredibly complex. Often housing more than twenty specialised departments and handling thousands of outpatient visits, examinations, admissions, and operations, hospitals involve intricate processes. Everything is interconnected, and some services are unpredictable. Each employee knows their job, but who manages the entire operation? No single person does, but new data-driven Digital Twins make the shared jobs more productive.

At the same time, digitalisation is not an end in itself. Our Patient Flow Centre transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights, empowering your multidisciplinary teams to make faster, better decisions at the point of care.

Patient Flow Centres (PFC)

A Patient Flow Centre provides hospitals with the information they need for complete control, offering a real-time view of patient care and resource needs (including doctors and nurses) at the tactical-operational level. The system uses AI algorithms to monitor hospital processes and identify potential bottlenecks early, and AI predictive models assist with decision-making.

Central planning and coordination are based on the most up-to-date information, enhanced by data-driven intelligence. This leads to optimal care and efficient use of limited resources.

The Patient Flow Centre provides a real-time overview of patient flow, staff availability, and resource utilisation. It continuously monitors the overall status and actively alerts you to imminent bottlenecks.

Healthcare professionals collaborate around interactive dashboards to review patient data and care trends.

Bridge the gap between clinical and operational teams. Our platform fosters seamless collaboration, ensuring that specialists, nurses, and managers share a single source of truth.

A collaborative hub for clinicians, managers, and external partners.

Prognosis

The Patient Flow Centre is essential for hospitals aiming to professionally manage patient and staff scheduling. It offers a real-time overview and uses integrated forecasts to predict future situations, spotting potential bottlenecks early.

Acting as the hospital’s “central control station”, it manages complex patient flows throughout the facility. Key tactical questions it addresses:

Will we have enough resources in the coming months?
What admissions and services are planned?
How will care needs change?
Are bottlenecks expected?
Should we move resources around?

The Patient Flow Centre gives hospitals the information and analysis they need for tactical management, showing current performance, highlighting trends, and predicting future developments.

It provides comprehensive forecasts and real-time information to support informed decision-making and effective management.

Planning

Effective planning is vital for hospitals, affecting access, waiting times, resource use, and overall efficiency.

The Patient Flow Centre optimises hospital planning and ensures high quality by providing key information for admissions and staffing, helping to identify and resolve bottlenecks.

The Patient Flow Centre complements existing software, building on current needs to intelligently coordinate patient, resource, and staff planning.

Gain continuous, live insight into patient intake, throughput, and available capacity. Identify potential bottlenecks hours before they impact care, allowing you to act early and maintain flow.

Create flexibility in staff and resource capacity through data-driven insights.
