Friday, December 13, Anouk Beursgens and Anne Zander went to the ZGT AI Christmas market. There, they presented the ongoing project, "Supporting Efficient Deployment of Nursing Home Staff Through Demand Prediction," funded by a Pioneers in Health Care voucher. During that market, they engaged with hospital managers from ZGT and gained new perspectives and insights.
In that project, together with ZGT, Medisch Spectrum Twente, and Deventer Ziekenhuis, prediction models for follow-up care demand originating from the hospital to support capacity/staff planning in follow-up care are developed. By accurately predicting demand and aligning capacity accordingly, the project seeks to reduce bed-blocking (patients staying in the hospital longer than necessary), improve patient outcomes, and enhance the efficiency of staff planning in follow-up care and hospitals.
