CARA — Data Driven Workforce Management

The relieve of pressure on health professionals, a focus on the actual (medical) core service, and an increase of individualized human resources development are gaining relevance.

For these challenges we developed CARA as cloud based system utilizing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches to create a data driven, objective basis for modern workforce management.

CARA supports decision makers to ensure that the right amount of health professionals, with the right skills, are at the right place at the right time to deliver the right services to those in need of them.

Existing Data Warehouse

Our data warehouse includes data from 50+ hospitals, across all professional groups (doctors, nurses, therapists, service and administration) in different medical fields from standard to university hospital.

Management tools based on objectified data basis.

High flexibility and extensibility for future controlling parameters and data sources (e.g. electronic care documentation, electronic fever curve, external and mobile data sources).

Takes various factors and variables into account (e.g. qualitative/quantitative, known/unknown)

Integration and exploitation of pre-existing routine data (“Data recycling”)

Handles bad data: Gaps, over- and under-estimation of parameters

Easy scaling to different professional groups and medical fields.

Takes differences and nuances from different medical fields and professional groups on task level into account. (e.g. duration and frequency differences)

Differentiation between major professional groups (e.g. medical, nursing, administrative) as well as sub professional groups (e.g. DGKP, PFA, PA)

Reliable identification of additional potentials of relief of strain in medical professional groups.

Learning system: Increase the accuracy of results by continual integration of (evaluation) data.

Basis for iterative development towards a quality- and outcome based health workforce planning.
