Hospitals face wrenching decisions and jarring changes. Demand for virus care has rocketed while elective care has plunged. There are shortages of staff, beds, equipment and supplies. Staff members are sick. In many cases, costs are rising and revenue is sinking.
There are many decisions to make and many variables to consider, all with great uncertainty and variability. How many patients are coming and when? How long will they stay? How many beds do we need? How do we staff with the right specialties and the right mix of additional resources? How do we schedule these resources for best effect? How do we create space with negative pressure? Hospitals are a maze of linked systems/silos. Without optimization, these systems can hinder output, efficiency and patient care.
Hospital realities will change rapidly in waves over weeks, months, or longer. During times of volatility and uncertainty, hospital simulation solutions can provide the greatest value. These virtual solutions can increase capacity, improve patient flow, optimize resource and supply use, determine optimal schedules, and simulate any scenario before you try it in real time. Stakes are high. You need to get it right. Technology lights the way and MOSIMTEC can help.
