PROMODEL…Decision Support Solutions

ProModel provides Process Simulation technologies and methodologies for complex healthcare environments.

Process Simulations are dynamic analytical tools that enable a deep, thorough, and quantified understanding of process and operational changes, before you make them. Simulations accurately replicate (or “model) working environments, such as ORs, EDs, or Bed Management, complete with their variability, interdependencies, and complexities, and enable an accurate, quantified assessment of the effects of complex changes to a multitude of variables. Thus Simulation allows you to effectively study what is right and wrong about current operations and processes, experiment with multiple potential solutions for change, and understand the systemic impacts…all without the hassle, costs, and risks of “trying it out”. This allows a more thorough and cost-effective evaluation and planning of systemic change, and a higher confidence in the expectations of outcomes.

Over 100 leading health care providers, including Providence St. Vincent, Stanford, MeritCare, HCA, Baylor Health Systems, Miami Valley Hospital, Intermountain Health Care, Lancaster General, Baystate and many more have saved Millions of Dollars by using ProModel's dynamic simulation technology and professional services to:

Reduce length of stay
Increase throughput
Optimize staffing
Improve quality & satisfaction
Maximize revenue & reduce costs
Increase productivity & efficiencies
Meet regulatory compliance
Evaluate the impact of IT systems and capital equipment as they relate to staffing, productivity, cost to benefit, throughput & revenues
Identify optimal solutions to manage redeployment of physical and human resources required by budgetary constraints, restructuring, compliance requirements, mergers and reallocations
Validate design requirements and ensure optimal functional layout for both current and planned facilities

Tough Trends	Create Challenges
Increased demand for Services Reduced Payments Nursing and Physician Shortages Increasing Regulatory Burden Bio-Terrorism Emergency Preparedness Issues Heightened Community Expectations/Awareness	Financial and Clinical Interests Collide Decreased Revenues Increased Costs Patient Dissatisfaction Overworked and Overstressed Staff Non-Compliance Public Scrutiny

Helping our Customers Succeed
ProModel enables you to visualize, analyze, and optimize the projected impact of alternate decisions, without the time, cost and operational risks associated with implementation.

In the complex world of healthcare, this means having the right information to make the right decision, the first time, without having to interrupt critical operations to "try something out".

"The consulting services from ProModel allowed us the comfort level to say, ' yes this is the right way to go," and that this is a doable project from a financial and clinical outcomes standpoint"
