Workflow simulation drives efficient healthcare outcomes by making the best use of space, equipment, and staff to improve care delivery and create human-centered hospital operations that will improve staff satisfaction and enhance patient experience. To predict the impact of operational layout changes, it utilizes a protected 3D environment, a “digital twin” of your institution, to simulate more efficient scenarios using patient pathways, staff scheduling and movements, utilization and performance data from diagnostic equipment, and other data sources to build a dynamic and comprehensive model that can be used as a testing ground. This identifies sustainable improvement opportunities within your hospital workflows, and drives operational excellence for informed decisions that deliver better revenue.
Discover the hidden potential in your healthcare facility with our optimized patient workflow and virtual medical simulation.
Main benefits
- Visualization of clinical processes and workflows
- Transparency on dependencies of resource allocation, capacity, and utilization
- Stress test different scenarios with small investment
- Patient-centric or provider-centric view of processes
- Identify improvement measures more easily and predict operational and financial impact
- Lower cost burden by increased device utilization
Virtual simulation in healthcare
There are three primary healthcare domains where workflow simulation has already proven its worth: The outcome specific scenario, the quantitative basis scenario & the stress test. Our consultants guide the selection of scenarios that allow us to experiment with process improvements, bypassing costly real-world trials, and providing valuable insights for your institutions.
