Newcastle AI, known for its proficiency in predictive analytics and forecasting, is pleased to present a compelling use-case tailored for the health sector.

In a collaborative dialogue with a seasoned manager within the field, Newcastle AI explores the viability and potential of refining operating room scheduling — a crucial aspect of hospital management.

Newcastle AI’s goal is to illuminate how data-driven strategies can significantly enhance efficiency and patient outcomes in healthcare settings. Its solution harnesses predictive analytics for precise resource allocation, accommodating both planned surgeries and emergent cases.

The AI solution employs predictive machine learning to optimise operating theatre schedules. The model streamlines operating theatre schedules, substantially curtailing patient wait times and bolstering theatre occupancy allowing for more surgeries to be conducted reducing idle time and the likelihood of late-running cases that incur overtime costs and impact staff morale.

The resulting streamlined operations not only minimise the need for surgery cancellations but also create an environment where urgent procedures can be accommodated promptly, thereby enhancing overall patient satisfaction.

The end goal is a robust, data-driven system that enhances hospital efficiency and patient care while providing a flexible, adaptive scheduling tool for healthcare providers.
