Welcome to Demand Manager, integrated within Clairvia Web. This application extends the capabilities of Staff Manager through more precise demand management, measuring, predicting, and tracking patient demand for services as the driver for resource deployment decisions, especially staffing.
Demand Manager helps manage each patient’s hospital stay, door to door, to desired outcomes. Demand Manager determines each patient’s real-time and projected demand for staffing by tracking each patient along a progress pattern, which outlines the optimal progression of care for the best clinical outcomes. Staffing workload requirements are automatically adjusted as patients’ conditions change and events occur, ensuring that the right caregiver resources are deployed at each point of a patient’s stay.
This application is currently available for acute care inpatients (patients assigned to a bed) profiles and locations and requires that there be a live real-time Registration Import, Demand Workload tables completed, and global skills defined.
Access to Demand views is linked to user security. Whether an employee has no access, read-only access, or read and write access to Demand data is set in Staff Manager Client on the Permissions tab of the Employee Info dialog box.
This application provides users with read and write access to pages accessed from the Demand list.
Important: Demand Manager is designed to be used by departments that have processes in place to manage and maintain an accurate census at all times. This typically excludes outpatient areas, including Emergency Departments. Ensure that your organization has a defined process for making sure the census is accurate before implementing (that is, mapping or configuring) Demand Manager for any outpatient departments.
