SMART Healthcare
Increase Healthcare Capacity
Our Approach
Our approach focuses on the patient – particularly in managing the “White Space” where patients are waiting for care, their access to services and the efficiencies with which providers can manage patient flow.
Challenges with Conventional Approaches
- Takes years to Design Build and Permit New Facilities
- Puts pressure on the Capital and Operating Expenses Budgets
- Confronting Difficulties – Identifying Suppliers, Recruitments & Streamline Processes
Benefits with Praxis Value Approach
- Takes only few months to Design and Implement
- No pressure on the Capital or Operating Expenses Budgets
- Zero Risk Environment & whole system Strategic planning
We achieve through a combination of Evidence-Based Process Improvement Tools & Technology with a dedicated focus on Change Management
01
Lean Six Sigma
A fact-based, Data-Driven Methodology focusing on Profitability, Productivity, Customer Satisfaction & reduction in variation.02
Simulation Modelling
Process of creating and analysing a digital prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world.03
Advance Analytics
Analysing data using sophisticated techniques and tools, to discover deeper insights, make predictions, or generate recommendations.Lean Six Sigma
Improved Service, Improved Quality & Improved Governance at the Reduced Cost
As per a survey 25% – 35% of Healthcare Spending is Waste
The idea of Lean in any environment is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness in the organisation and or process to improve Value to the Customer.
Layout Design & Flexible Multi Skilled Staff
Visual KPI’s/ Metrics Aligned to the Process
Improving Value to the Customers/ Patients
Patients, Equipment’s, Consumables, Communication
Improved Work practices & Communication.
Improve Market, Flexibility, Focus, Velocity, and Reduce Complexity & Cost
Six Sigma is a fact-based, Data-Driven Methodology focusing on Profitability, Productivity, Customer Satisfaction & reduction in Variation.
Improve Revenue – Self-Pay, Insurance, Medicare
Improve the Profit Margin – Productivity
Patient & Physician Satisfaction – Benchmarking
Clinical Quality – Mortality and Morbidity
Standards & Accreditation & Root Cause Analysis
Improving Value to the Customers/ Patients
Simulation & Advance Analytics
Praxis Value Simulation enables healthcare systems and processes to be tested in a safe, virtual environment without risk to patients and staff – supporting organizations to make better decisions, improve systems of care and maximize resources.

Building Healthcare Capacity
Key Areas
Emergency Care Optimization
A data driven simulation model to map patient pathways and staffing. Effects of changes in the scheduling practices, allocation of scarce resources, patient demand patterns, and priority rules for serving patients.
Goal
To assess the effectiveness of the current system and to improve the emergency room′s ability to anticipate the impact of various changes in patient throughput flow
Benefits
- Optimized Performance
- Reduced Conversion Rate
- Contingency Planning
- Resilience Planning
Intelligent Triage Analysis
It’s about demand management, not providing demand analytics, but actively managing the demand.
Goal
Seeing the right patient, in the right place, at the right time, having used as little administrative resource as possible to get them there.
Benefits
- Real-Time Capacity
- Demand Planning
- Faster Patient Triage
- Clinical Pathway Redesign
- Variation Assessment
"If any process is conducted in the same manner as it was three years earlier, then you can be sure there is waste - Nemoto"
Theatre Optimization Method
Advanced Data Analytics
Algorithms to estimate specific procedure times, accounting for patient complexity and then applied to identify optimal scheduling configuration in order to eliminate unnecessary gaps in schedules and therefore maximise theatre utilisation.
Goal
To maximize the use of the operating rooms and to minimize the delays in starting the scheduled surgeries
Benefits
- 15% Improvement – Theatres Utilisation
- Improved Operation Visibility – Theatres Usage
- Reduced overtime & WLI payments
- Reduction in Delayed/ Cancelled Operations
Outpatient Productivity & Utilisation System
Interactive dashboard with which to review and interrogate the performance of their outpatient service
Goal
Identify opportunities for improved productivity and efficiency, based upon technological optimisation, pathway redesign, and demand management
Benefits
- Increased Productivity
- Releases Capacity
Other Areas of Application
Improving performance & efficiency considering factors hospital layout, behaviour, patient flow and procedures.
Detailed evaluation of different management policies for patient flow management by simulation.
Helps hospital administrators adjust staffing models based on population prevalence & prevalence of disease.
Multi-method includes analytics, simulation, ML & optimization to provide solutions for staffing & shift scheduling.
Creating the most efficient layout that supports staff and patient requirements on the day of surgery.
Simulation the points of access to a public hospital. Pedestrian traffic to calculate density maps and service levels in hospital access & ramps.
