The Client Challenge
Business Process Challenges
- Managed more than 750+ beds across multi-specialty hospital network with fluctuating patient demand.
- Patient admission, discharge, and bed occupancy data was distributed across multiple operational systems.
- Limited real-time visibility made it difficult for administrators to accurately monitor hospital capacity.
- Teams relied on historical reports and manual spreadsheets for bed occupancy monitoring and capacity planning.
- Delayed and fragmented data contributed to ICU capacity constraints, emergency department overcrowding, and admission delays.
- Leadership lacked predictive insights to anticipate patient demand and optimize resources across departments.
- Required an AI-powered analytics platform to forecast bed occupancy, predict admissions and discharges, and support proactive capacity planning.
Our Approach
Our Strategic Approach
- Designed and implemented an AI-powered hospital occupancy analytics platform using Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Power Apps, Dataverse, Azure Machine Learning, AI Builder, Copilot Studio, and Power Automate.
- Consolidated operational data from EHR systems, patient admission systems, bed management systems, and other hospital applications into Microsoft Dataverse.
- Used Microsoft Fabric Data Factory pipelines, Lakehouse storage, Real-Time Analytics, and Semantic Models to unify historical and real-time hospital data.
- Developed predictive models using AI Builder and Azure Machine Learning to forecast bed occupancy, patient admissions, discharge timelines, ICU demand, and potential capacity shortages.
- Created Power BI dashboards to provide real-time visibility into hospital occupancy, capacity, patient flow, and operational performance.
- Developed a Power Apps bed management portal to simplify bed assignments and patient movement.
- Automated occupancy threshold and staffing alerts using Power Automate to support proactive capacity management.
- Integrated Copilot Studio to enable executives to access hospital operational insights through natural language queries.
