Solving Nurse Allocation Issues: How AI Effectively Prepares Infusion Centers8/20/2019
Louis Pasteur famously said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” In highly specialized environments such as infusion centers, which are unpredictable by nature, it often seems impossible to adequately prepare. Scheduling is highly complex, wait times are long, and nurses are usually rushed. Burnout and job dissatisfaction are systemic, and as a result, the patient care experience is suboptimal. Yet, new technologies make it possible to reduce uncertainties, adapt to change, and fuel a new level of preparedness that tips chance heavily in favor of patients and staff while enabling centers to function efficiently.
