Our AI optimization solution for hospitals, ALZA CARE, is specifically designed to streamline patient flow and enhance resource management across healthcare facilities. ALZA CARE leverages advanced AI technology to allocate resources efficiently; optimizing the utilization of assets and staff to improve patient access.
Challenges in Healthcare and Hospital Operations
Healthcare is a sector where seamless operations are of paramount importance. The industry faces numerous challenges that demand innovative solutions. These include:
Patient Flow Management:
Hospitals need to accurately anticipate patient arrivals, admissions, and departures to ensure efficient operations. Misjudgments can lead to overstaffing or understaffing, affecting costs and the quality of care provided.
Resource Allocation:
Effective resource management, including bed allocation, equipment usage, and staffing schedules, is crucial for optimal operations. Without precise data, resource allocation can become chaotic, impacting the delivery of care.
Predicting Triage & Surgery Needs:
Timely identification of serious conditions and the need for emergency surgeries can save lives. However, it's often challenging to predict these needs without sophisticated analytical tools.
Length-of-Stay Predictions:
Accurately forecasting the length of a patient’s stay aids in resource planning and patient satisfaction, but it's often difficult to predict due to the dynamic nature of patient health.
Readmission Risks:
Identifying the risk of patient readmission is critical for preventative care and resource planning. Traditional methods may not always identify patients at risk accurately.
AI and data science come as game-changers in addressing these challenges. They enable predictive insights and effective decision-making, improving operational efficiency and patient care in healthcare settings. At Sumo Analytics, our AI-driven solutions are specifically designed to tackle these hurdles head-on.
Sumo Analytics Use Cases
PATIENT ARRIVAL FORECASTING
Our AI systems accurately predict patient arrivals, allowing hospitals to anticipate their resource needs effectively. This results in efficient staffing and reduced waiting times, thereby improving patient satisfaction.
TRIAGE
FORECASTS
Our innovative AI solutions forecast the number of patients arriving at the emergency department with each level of triage. This means we can predict how many patients will require immediate attention (Triage 1 and 2), through to those with less critical needs.
ADMISSION FORECASTING
Our predictive solutions accurately forecast hospital admissions, ensuring optimal bed allocation and resource planning. With precise predictions, hospitals can manage their resources better and enhance patient care.
SURGERY
FORECASTS
We provide forecasting for emergency surgeries, aiding hospitals in scheduling operating rooms and allocating necessary resources. This allows for better planning, reduces operating room wait times, and improves patient outcomes.
LENGTH-OF-STAY PREDICTIONS
Our AI-driven models predict patient length of stay with remarkable accuracy. These predictions assist in bed management, discharge planning, and hospital workflow optimization.
INTRA-HOSPITAL PATIENT TRANSFER PREDICTIONS
Our solutions include predictions of intra-hospital patient transfers. These insights can aid in hospital planning and help maintain smooth transitions between departments, minimizing patient wait times and enhancing care.
HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED CONDITION PREDICTIONS
We offer predictions for hospital-acquired conditions, helping identify potential risks early. This can aid in implementing preventative measures, improving patient safety, and reducing the costs associated with such conditions.
READMISSION RISK PREDICTIONS
Our AI models can predict the risk of readmission within 30 days, allowing hospitals to plan for post-discharge care and possibly implement additional preventative measures to mitigate these risks. This improves patient health outcomes and can reduce overall healthcare costs.

Case Studies
Streamlining Patient Flow with advanced AI Predictions
A leading Scandinavian hospital was grappling with a challenging operational bottleneck. Patient flow was often disrupted due to unpredictability, leading to crowded corridors and emergency rooms filled beyond capacity. The hospital was constantly wrestling with an unwieldy patient backlog, causing patient discomfort and straining hospital resources. Coupled with this, the extended length-of-stay and high readmission rates further complicated their operations, adding additional layers of complexity to their already strained processes. These conditions were not only detrimental to the overall efficiency of the hospital, but they also severely affected the quality of patient care.
