Gooroo Planner now includes a whole suite of detailed, visual analysis about how effectively your theatres (and clinics) are being used. But first, you need to extract a few more standard fields from your existing data sources.
The Overview is a powerful visualisation, so that you can quickly and expertly spot the opportunities to make better use of your theatres and clinics. This post helps you interpret it.
The Detail view lays out what happened in theatre or clinic, every minute of the day. This is how to interpret it.
The Charts view gives you a statistical analysis of theatre and clinic usage on different days of the week. This is how it works, and how you interpret it.
In September 2016 we are going to replace Gooroo Planner's unsupported free read-only licences with supported Standard licences. The price? Just £1,000+VAT per user per year.
It sounds sensible to book patients in before they breach the target. But in practice it is unfair, unsafe, and keeps waiting times on the brink of failure. There is a better way.
In principle, we can plan the hospital to smooth out expensive peaks and troughs in capacity. In practice we need to apply some common sense too.
The old, centralised, annualised approach to planning and performance management is fading. In its place is emerging something much more adaptable, much more granular, and much more useful.
Capacity in the NHS can be a bit of a bumpy ride, with expensive escalation beds and extra sessions. Gooroo Planner can help you smooth things out, with new constant capacity modelling.
The latest (free) upgrade to Gooroo Planner includes constant capacity modelling, zero profiling, overhauled dataset settings, and revised capacity calculations.
