AI-Driven Physician Scheduling Solution and Workflow Optimization

The Challenge

Fraser Health Authority and Deloitte are co-leading this AI project, with Burnaby Hospital and Eagle Ridge Hospital as the pilot sites for this initiative. This project seeks to leverage AI/ML-based solutions to resolve complex challenges facing the human resources supply chain for the FHA ecosystem, with an initial focus on the Emergency and Hospital Medicine departments. AI will enable accurate demand forecasting, optimization and simulation modelling of physician scheduling to achieve decreased workload, increased job satisfaction, shorter wait times, and improved patient experiences.
