New research finds data-driven staffing model delivers major cost savings for healthcare systems
Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences
New research published in the INFORMS journal Operations Research shows that healthcare systems can substantially reduce overtime, idle time and overall staffing costs by adopting a multilocation, dynamic staff-planning model for anesthesiologists. The study is based on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), which cut daily overtime and idle time across 11 hospitals, generating over $800,000 in annual cost savings.
