Axel Planner is an intuitive healthcare resource planning tool designed for the needs of modern healthcare, combining room management and resource optimization into a single, unified system.
The solution automates schedule planning and room planning for outpatient units, significantly reducing manual work while maximizing room utilization rates. By optimizing both facilities and staff, operations become fully transparent, and patients can be guided dynamically to the right location based on real-time data. Axel Planner ensures your resources are utilized efficiently – without compromising the quality of care.
Planner's user-friendly functions and clever automation help professionals carry out their tasks smoothly and efficiently. Patient guidance is based on room assignments, so patients will always find up-to-the-minute visit details or guidance on their smartphones or on the kiosk screen.
When the room assignments and scheduling of consulting hours are done automatically, healthcare professionals can focus on more meaningful tasks. The automation algorithm utilizes facilities more efficiently than humans, so the resulting plan usually needs very little finetuning.
Planner tools are versatile and adapt to many different needs. Even unexpected changes or space needs can be easily incorporated into the plans. With Planner, healthcare organizations can use their facilities and resources more efficiently, allowing professionals to help more patients.
Resource planning in healthcare becomes effortless when capacity planning can be fully customized to the organization's needs. You can plan the content of consulting hours and ensure that suitable facilities and devices are always available for all professionals. Thanks to planning templates, schedule planning is fast, allowing multiple weeks to be scheduled at a time. Consulting hours can be linked to room bookings and integrated with other systems. It's also possible to import consulting hours automatically from backend systems to Planner.
Automated room planning utilizes an efficient algorithm to place imported or newly created consulting hours optimally into suitable rooms. Room bookings are generated for a chosen planning period based on predefined optimization rules. AI in resource planning brings continuous learning to the system: automatically generated bookings can always be adjusted manually, and the smart algorithm understands to take these human updates into account in future plans. This form of intelligent resource optimization saves time for planners and streamlines daily processes.
Thanks to the visual room calendar and clear floor maps, room management is completely hassle-free. It's easy for planners to search for free rooms and monitor booking statuses across the entire organization in real-time. Modern healthcare planning eliminates downtime and maximizes facility capacity, delivering clear financial benefits. It also allows for flexible, on-the-go changes: rooms can be switched with a single click, and Axel automatically redirects patients to the correct waiting rooms based on the updated room booking data.
