AI-Driven Planning for Healthcare Operations
An AI-driven planning initiative created a clear, data-backed foundation for operational improvement. It unified insights across departments, enabling smarter decisions and paving the way for future (AI) automation and innovation.

Complex Scheduling and Limited Oversight
Within the thorax centre of a leading hospital, planning activities were spread across four separate scheduling offices, resulting in fragmented processes, limited transparency, and inefficient use of capacity. Without a unified view, it was difficult to detect bottlenecks or drive consistent improvements, leading to longer patient waiting times and higher workload pressure for staff.
Treat More Patients with the Same Capacity
The hospital’s operations team aimed to shorten waiting times and treat more patients without increasing resources. Their goal was to establish a transparent, efficient, and data-driven planning approach that enhances collaboration and supports informed decision-making, while laying the groundwork for future AI-driven automation.


Data Transparency and AI-Enabled Planning
As an innovative hospital already investing in digital transformation, the organization initiated a strategic research project to explore data-driven planning improvements.
Our contribution focused on:
- Data-Driven Insights: Analyzing planning processes and KPIs to uncover inefficiencies and dependencies across departments.
- Change Management Support: Using objective data analyses to guide improvement initiatives and align internal stakeholders.
- Dashboard Concept Design: Defining a visual framework to highlight bottlenecks, track progress, and prepare for AI-enabled planning.
Greater Efficiency for the Future
- Improved Visibility: Clear insights into capacity and bottlenecks enable more effective operational decisions.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Planning teams benefit from greater clarity and shared understanding across departments.
- Reduced Waiting Times: Identified improvement areas to optimize capacity and patient flow.
- Future-Ready Foundation: The groundwork is laid for automated, AI-powered planning once data integration is complete.
