How OHSU Alleviated Staffing Challenges in the OR
Staffing in healthcare organizations is a complex and multifaceted challenge. Frontline leaders are tasked with juggling, balancing, and coordinating numerous aspects of staffing, resulting in significant pains and burdens. These pains are typically managed through manual processes, such as phone calls, spreadsheets, and extensive manual work. At any given time, organizations face skill mismatches, shortages, call-offs, ratio issues, and workload imbalances across different units and environments. These diverse issues happening simultaneously create the need for constant manual intervention by nursing teams.
By leveraging iQueue for Inpatient Flow’s predictive analytics and AI automation, healthcare organizations can transition from reactive manual processes to a proactive, strategic staffing model. This shift allows frontline leaders to effectively address the complex inpatient staffing challenges they face daily. The resulting data-driven approach enables:
