Combating nurse burnout with technology
In-House Health was founded in 2023 by a team with a unique perspective: two healthcare professionals and a technical leader. Recognizing the challenges nurses face with scheduling and staffing, they sought to leverage technology to create a more efficient and supportive work environment.
The problem: tedious planning and unpredictable demand
Nurse leaders currently spend a significant portion of their time (more than 15 hours per week) on manual planning tasks. This reliance on outdated methods like drag and drop on screens, whiteboards, or even pen and paper hampers efficiency.
Additionally, large hospitals often operate in a siled approach, managing thousands of employees across regions. This leads to difficulties in anticipating staffing needs and meeting fluctuating demand.
In-House Health Solution: AI-Driven Scheduling for Streamlined Workflows
In-House Health addresses these challenges with a data-driven approach:
- Collaboration with hospitals: The company works closely with hospitals and providers to seamlessly integrate with existing workflows.
- AI-driven planning: Their AI algorithm, trained on millions of patient records, identifies patterns of care at the bedside. This allows to :
- Predictive forecasts: Anticipate team changes weeks in advance, unlike traditional methods.
- Reduced planning time: The algorithm potentially cuts planning times in half.
- Labor cost savings: In-House Health estimates that costs will be reduced by more than 10% through optimized staffing.
“Saving manager time on scheduling is a huge win and relieves burnout among nursing leaders, but the real prize is improved staffing outcomes,” explained Ari Brenner, Co-Founder at In-House Health. “When hospitals fail to properly predict the future, it costs money in overtime pay and agency use. We can reduce both through precision staffing.”
