Rochester, Minn.-based Mayo Clinic is licensing its internally developed workforce forecasting technology to Trusted Health, which plans to make the tool available to other hospitals and health systems.
Mayo’s CareCast technology uses historical staffing information, patient volume trends and operational data to forecast future workforce demand, according to a Sept. 10 news release.
Under the agreement, San Francisco-based Trusted Health will integrate CareCast into Trusted Works, its staffing and scheduling optimization platform, and commercialize the technology for use by other health systems.
Trusted Works’ AI agents will use CareCast forecasts to build schedules, identify coverage gaps and fill open shifts. The platform will also compare scheduling plans with actual outcomes and use those differences to inform future forecasts.
Mayo Clinic and Trusted Health also plan to use the platform to develop additional staffing and scheduling capabilities informed by feedback from Mayo nurses and nursing leaders.
Mayo Clinic has a financial interest in CareCast and said revenue generated from the technology will support its nonprofit mission in patient care, education and research.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
