TeamBuilder Receives Patent for Predictive Staff Scheduling in Healthcare

TeamBuilder has been granted Patent No. 12148523 for its predictive staff scheduling technology. The patent covers TeamBuilder’s innovative approach of weaving patient volume, workflow and employee availability and characteristics into an easy-to-use interface that managers can use to make optimal scheduling decisions. This achievement underscores TeamBuilder’s commitment to leveraging data-driven solutions to improve staffing efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance patient care. Staff scheduling in healthcare is inherently complex, with fluctuating patient demand, varying specialty needs, multiple locations, and diverse staff preferences. Despite this, many healthcare organizations continue to rely on staffing ratios and manual scheduling systems, such as paper or Excel-based methods, which often lead to overstaffing, administrative inefficiencies, and a lack of visibility into key operational metrics. TeamBuilder’s patented staff scheduling technology not only transforms workforce management but also drives tangible, measurable improvements. Healthcare organizations have seen an 11% improvement in access to care and payroll reductions of 9-14% through optimized staffing. The technology also enhances communication and reduces the time required to create and manage schedules, streamlining operations. These outcomes highlight TeamBuilder’s impact on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing patient care.
