Improving patient flow in hospitals is a global challenge in the healthcare sector. One of the most effective approaches is Optimizing Treatment Times.

… most hospitals exhibit significant unintended variations in the way clinical care is provided

Effective planning and organization of hospital operations can lead to improved overall hospital performance

This insight is correct and has already been expressed many times.
—but— it hasn’t been implemented yet — why?

Fraecermed has changed the time structures of planning and organization that had previously led to an irregular patient flow in the hospital. The changes are implemented by a proactive, goal-oriented AI agent that, in the core area of hospital operations—the operating room—replaces estimated times with actual measured times and digitally controls patient flow based on the new time structures. Planning and organization were optimized for time efficiency, resulting in a faster patient flow and greater cost-effectiveness.
This optimization has several effects:
– It results in full utilization (100%) of the operating room.
– It leads to a significant reduction in staffing requirements without compromising performance.
– It enables full-time employees to work continuously, in a predictable and collaborative manner through an organizational pull system
– the foundation for a paradigm shift in patient flow.
