Healthcare Modeling
Bellingham, WA
In addition to our custom healthcare simulation development services, we are proud to offer an advanced and complete suite of patient flow simulation tools called hcProphet. All hcProphet modules are designed to accurately model your unique situation without requiring any programming on your part.
Here's how it works: Use the graphical user interface to answer questions about your local system and enter needed parameters. Once you've done this, hcProphet will automatically build a complete and valid simulation planning model. The resulting model provides a virtual representation of your system that will allow you to test various planning scenarios and answer your most pressing planning questions. Whether you have an outpatient clinic, emergency department, or multi-facility health care system, you can use an hcProphet module to help with everything from staff allocation to evaluating disaster scenarios. Browse the list to see the many pre-built options.
Healthcare administrators must constantly balance the often-competing demands of maximizing the financials of the organization while maximizing the quality of care provided to the patient. The Outpatient Clinic Module provides administrators with a highly effective decision support tool to allow them to accurately forecast the impact of proposed operational changes on overall clinic performance.
The OR Block module provides powerful multidimensional ‘what-if” capability for improving OR throughput and utilization.
hcProphet’s ED Simulator (EDS) Module is a revolutionary new tool for Emergency Department throughput, staffing, patient flow, and efficiency analysis.
NovaSim's Patient Flow Explorer tool uses a proprietary data mining algorithm to produce detailed information, by patient type, about how your patients are flowing through your system.
This module allows the user to develop effective strategies for: (1) identifying obstacles to smooth patient flow (2) best matching operational capacity (beds) with current and anticipated patient needs (3) improving the patient experience by reducing delays, and (4) estimating staffing requirements to support the predicted patient census.
hcProphet’s Hospital Move Module provides an interactive tool that allows evacuation and move planners to explore the expected outcomes associated with various move planning scenarios. While it was originally developed to help large hospitals plan moves, the tool is also well suited to planning for any kind of mass hospital evacuation.
Use our simulation-based bed management tool to identify opportunities for improving patient flow through better management of available capacity and resources and improve your overall bed management decision making process.
hcProphet's Tactical Staff Simulation Model adds extensive what-if capability by simulating the flow throughout all units of the hospital to determine the expected census numbers by unit, and therefore the number of staff required. With this tool in hand, management has a virtual laboratory with which to test out the impact of various changes on overall system performance measures and ultimately, the number of staff required.
