AI-Driven Physician Scheduling Solution and Workflow Optimization
The Challenge

This project seeks to leverage AI/ML-based solutions to resolve complex challenges facing the human resources supply chain for the FHA ecosystem, with an initial focus on the Emergency and Hospital Medicine departments. AI will enable accurate demand forecasting, optimization and simulation modelling of physician scheduling to achieve decreased workload, increased job satisfaction, shorter wait times, and improved patient experiences.
