Health Care
Services
Organizations in
the health care services industry face growing and complex
challenges in balancing the need for compliance with regulations
such as HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act), and the risks of insufficient capacity while delivering
efficient quality care.
The challenges of
staffing, meeting quality expectations, providing superior
service, and building a strong physician and nursing base
require strategic thinking and planning, and alignment with
functional strategy in the key clinical areas. This enables
an integrated and holistic view of patient flow networks,
information and material flows throughout the health care
system, and the impact on capacity load levels and utilization.

The Health Care
Capacity Optimization solution is a discrete-event simulation
based solutions package built on our EPCAD
OPA. This application allows managers to create simulations
to analyze the care and patient networks, and volume flexibility
options so they can gain insight into the health care system
operations to make informed decisions. > Learn

Unlike traditional approaches
that use bed capacity as the preferred unit of planning, the Lean
unit for planning is the patient care network, and the elements
that can constrain them (the bottlenecks). In some cases, this could
be the number of beds, operating theaters, or nurses, etc. The value
network approach allows users to consider the extended value network
and the resource capacity constraints in developing optimal schedules
to guide operations.
