Case Study: Leading Florida Hospital improves staffing efficiency and saves $750K with Hospital IQ

Accurate Census Forecasting Improves Staff Satisfaction and Financial Performance

Leading Florida Hospital, one of the largest employers in its county with over 800 beds, 45,000 inpatient admissions, 5,000 staff members, and 900 physicians, faced unpredictable patient demand driven by population growth and seasonal influx. This made staffing difficult, leading to last-minute call-ins and call-offs, frequent overstaffing, and uneven nurse allocation across units. Hospital IQ provided its Staffing solution to help the hospital better forecast census and manage capacity.

With Hospital IQ, the hospital could predict upcoming surges, reduce last-minute staffing changes, decide when to open or close overflow units, and better allocate the float pool. The solution improved patient care, reduced leadership and nurse stress, and automated time-consuming processes, resulting in $750K saved annually by avoiding unneeded surge planning and a 50% reduction in last-minute staffing adjustments.
