Services
Gooroo Software Planner
Our flagship software provides comprehensive forecasting and capacity planning for NHS hospitals. It enables managers to model demand scenarios across time horizons from one week to several years. The system supports both interactive planning and automated optimisation of elective work around non-elective peaks, ensuring efficient resource allocation.
Gooroo Software Beds
This innovative solution transforms bed capacity management through risk-based analysis. Instead of generic occupancy assumptions, it enables precise planning based on acceptable risk levels. The system accounts for non-elective bed requirements and their impact on associated bed areas, providing a more accurate and flexible approach to hospital capacity management.
Risk Analysis
Our risk-based planning methodology helps hospitals operate at agreed risk levels. The system continuously updates forecasts and capacity plans, providing real-time insights into core and escalation bed requirements. This approach enables better decision-making and more effective management of both routine and emergency healthcare demands.
Automation Tools
We offer automation solutions that integrate planning outputs with business intelligence systems. This enables real-time comparison between actual performance and planning forecasts. The automated systems ensure all stakeholders have access to up-to-date information, improving transparency and facilitating data-driven decision-making across hospital operations.
Forecasting Systems
Our advanced forecasting tools model demand patterns and waiting times across clinical pathways. The system handles both elective and non-elective service planning, supporting scenario analysis under various activity levels. This comprehensive approach helps hospitals develop more accurate and adaptable capacity plans that respond effectively to changing healthcare demands.
