Healthcare Predictive Analytics

With healthcare predictive analytics from Avantas, the schedule needs forecasts start 120 days in advance of the shift. These forecasts of how many and what types of staff you’ll need (and where you’ll need them) are updated weekly. More predictable schedules result in happier staff, time savings for managers, and much less reliance on last-minute incentives and agency.

We incorporate modern modeling techniques and machine learning methodologies to forecast staffing needs starting 120 days out from the shift. This helps organizations create better schedules and staffing plans sooner.

Updated weekly, these predictions pass through the staffing matrices for each unit/service area, clearly identifying predicted demand versus staff supply.

The workforce planning dashboard allows users to view metrics and schedule outcomes to tell the story of your performance and illustrate opportunities to better use your staff.

ELECTRONIC SELF-SCHEDULING

Self-scheduling through ShiftWizard is a flexible system designed to reduce the scheduling burden on managers, and to improve the job satisfaction of employees who want more control and transparency into their schedules.

Self-scheduling allows managers and administrators to publish scheduling templates that ensure that the right nurses with the right certifications are scheduled at any given time. Then, staff are empowered to take control of their own schedule within your established framework.

OPEN SHIFT MANAGEMENT

Open shift management reverses the scheduling nightmare for managers when shifts open up unexpectedly. No more nights of feverish texting and calling to ensure you have the proper staff to deliver the needed levels of patient care.

ShiftWizard’s unique and powerful open shift management engine works with all shift types, including highly irregular schedules, such as what is typically seen within an ER. Our system only displays shifts that are relevant based on availability, skillset, and certification.
