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. ![Axel Planner infograph introduces the main functions from resource and schedule planning to room optimization](https://www.axelhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Axel_planner_info_EN.png?width=800&height=237&name=Axel_planner_info_EN.png)   ## Great reasons to choose Axel Planner ![A patient checks in with their mobile device](https://www.axelhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png?width=70&height=70&name=lazy-img-800x500.png) #### Smoother planning and better patient experience 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. ![Healthcare professional uses Planner for schedule and room planning](https://www.axelhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png?width=70&height=70&name=lazy-img-800x500.png) #### More time for patient care 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. ![Automation brings efficiency to planning](https://www.axelhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png?width=70&height=70&name=lazy-img-800x500.png) #### Efficiency in healthcare resource planning 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. ## An intuitive resource planning tool for versatile healthcare planning  With Axel Planner, your staff can get rid of paper calendars, Excel sheets, and other manual coordination methods. This smart [resource planning tool](https://info.axelhealth.com/en/axel-planner-planning-solutions?hsLang=en) shows exactly what activities are planned for the consulting hours, where they take place, and when they start and end. Real-time [resource management](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/blog/excel-is-dead-long-live-axel?hsLang=en) significantly improves transparency, as staff members can see at a single glance where their colleagues are working at any given moment.   ### Flexible schedule planning and management of consulting hours  [Resource planning in healthcare](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/blog/four-excellent-reasons-to-replace-excel-in-healthcare-resource-management?hsLang=en) 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](https://info.axelhealth.com/en/towards-comprehensive-control-in-healthcare-production-management?hsLang=en) 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.  ![Schedule planning tools](https://www.axelhealth.com/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png) ### Automated room planning and smart AI support  Automated [room planning](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/blog/10-methods-to-enhance-treatment-experience-with-automation?hsLang=en) 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](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/blog/the-abc-of-optimization-in-healthcare-service-production?hsLang=en) 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](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/blog/resource-optimization-isnt-rocket-science-but-the-results-can-transform-everyday-operations?hsLang=en) saves time for planners and streamlines daily processes.  ![Automated room assignment](https://www.axelhealth.com/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png) ### Streamlined room management and room booking in real-time  Thanks to the visual room calendar and clear floor maps, [room management](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/customer-cases-new-childrens-hospital?hsLang=en) is completely hassle-free.

Modern [healthcare planning](https://info.axelhealth.com/en/roi-calculator-axel-planner?hsLang=en) 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](https://www.axelhealth.com/en/use-case-managing-shared-spaces-with-planner?hsLang=en) data.  ![Example of a floor map](https://www.axelhealth.com/hubfs/CLEAN-images/lazy-imgs/lazy-img-800x500.png)   ## See how Planner works Watch our short animation to learn how Axel Planner enhances and optimizes healthcare planning. ## Eager to learn more about Planner?
