ProModel Customized Solutions: Hogistics

by

There are times when the best solution is a customized solution. For those situations ProModel has a highly skilled and agile development team ready to work with you to develop the one of a kind predictive analytic solution that meets your needs.

We have created unique custom predictive analytic technology applications and training programs for the Army, Navy, and Government Agencies, as well as companies in the Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare and Services Industries.

Here is just one of our latest custom solutions:

Hogistics, created in partnership with Zoetis, a global animal health company that delivers medicines and vaccines, complemented by diagnostic products and genetic tests and supported by a range of services.

Zoetis, in conjunction with ProModel, created an analytics tool to help farmers predict barn and system pig growth, mortality, and sales volume over time. This helps them achieve an optimal pound per pig as prescribed by the packing companies to which they sell.

Pork production is a highly variable process due to many factors including, genetics, environment, and disease. Other events, such as vaccine protocols, weather and individual animal care can also have an effect. Hogistics will help swine producers with the following:

  • Marketing weight and weight distribution projections weeks ahead of time
  • Data to optimize animals per sale
  • Scenario analysis capabilities to evaluate animal heath, vaccines, husbandry education
  • Pig placement, marketing and transportation schedule data
  • An inventory management tool for placement and planning of multiple pig flows

Power of Predictive Analytics for Healthcare System Improvement and Patient Flow

by

Hospitals are currently under intense pressure to simultaneously improve the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare delivery in an environment where operating costs are being reduced, downsizing and consolidation is the norm, and cost for care is increasing while revenue is decreasing.  At the same time the systemic effects of peak census and varying demand on patient LOS are creating capacity issues and unacceptable patient wait times…leading to a major decline in patient satisfaction.

The amount of proposals to enhance a hospitals quality care are as numerous as the healthcare professionals dedicated to the cause.  What hospitals need however is the ability to quickly and accurately evaluate the impact of those various operational proposals and to experiment with system behavior without disrupting the actual system – and ProModel’s simulation technology is allowing them to do just that.

The predictive analytic capability of ProModel simulation will allow healthcare professionals to test assumptions and answer those patient flow “what if” questions in a matter of minutes and days, not weeks and months.  Simply put, it’s providing a decision support system to assist healthcare leaders in making critical decisions quickly with a higher degree of accuracy and confidence.

Simulation will also help healthcare staff quickly identify room availability and recognize high risk patient flow bottlenecks before extreme problems occur.  This invaluable knowledge will then lead to reductions in patient wait times and LOS, avoid unnecessary re-admissions and costly expansions, and most importantly – increase the overall quality of service and patient satisfaction.
