Case Study: AltaMed Health Services achieves $250,000 savings and higher exam room utilization with BigBear.ai

AltaMed Health Services increases exam room utilization and saves $250,000

AltaMed Health Services Corp. was facing growing demand and needed to determine if facility expansions and new clinics were necessary to meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. To avoid the high cost of construction, they engaged BigBear.ai to analyze their current operations and see if they could increase capacity within their existing space.

BigBear.ai created an adjustable simulation model, starting with AltaMed's Garden Grove facility, to analyze patient flow and room utilization. The model revealed that exam rooms were only at 60% capacity, proving additional construction was unnecessary. By reconfiguring workflows and increasing efficiencies, BigBear.ai's solution saved AltaMed $250,000 at one facility and provided a template for millions in potential savings across their network.
