Simulation software may improve healthcare facility efficiencies

Software creates a 4D portrayal of a healthcare system, and then adds in 'what-if' factors to analyze the way the organization handles patients and care

Healthcare organizations are bracing themselves for the impact the Affordable Care Act might have on day-to-day operations at their facilities and how they are going to manage a higher influx of patients without losing profitability.

That’s a problem that Allyson Robbins and Michelle Boyd, former grad students at the University of Colorado Denver business school, are trying to solve, according to a blog on the Denver Business Journal website.

Their company Analytical Decision Services LLC (ADS) simulates exactly how healthcare facilities can improve efficiencies and manage an influx of patients, the blog said.

The software gives organizations a cost-effective, no-risk way to experiment with their operations and look at results digitally.

Boyd and Robbins can create a 4D portrayal of a healthcare system and then add in “what-if” factors to analyze the way the organization handles patients and care.

“The computer is like a canvas ... you can actually have little people moving through the workplace,” Robbins said in the blog.
