How does Praemostro's system work?

Discover how our system works and see how the graphs reflect different types of shifts – from calm to busy.

Are our short-term forecasts necessary?

Emergency departments have operated for many years without Praemostro's forecasts. So, are they really necessary? In this article, we take a closer look at the alternatives to our short-term forecast, PraeSight—what exactly does it offer that the alternatives fail to deliver?

Podcast with Troels M. Range

Troels Martin Range, who has a background as a mathematical economist from SDU, including a PhD in operations research, is the technical mastermind behind Praemostro's system. Tune in to this podcast from AI Denmark, where Troels explains how machine learning is used to predict patient numbers.

How to read the Praemostro graph

Praemostro has developed an advanced forecasting system that helps emergency department staff plan resources and staffing based on expected patient inflow. But how do you read the graph correctly, and how can the information be used to make better decisions? This article guides you through the structure of the graph and how it can be used.

In control during busy shifts

How do you manage your shift when, in principle, you have no idea how many patients will arrive right now, in an hour, later in the day, tomorrow, or next week? This article provides answers as we speak with Sune Laugesen, Chief Physician at the Emergency Department at Odense University Hospital (OUH), about the concept of ‘busy shifts.’

How to tackle crowding?

If you work in the healthcare sector, you’ve probably heard about – or perhaps even experienced – crowding. But what exactly is it? What causes it? What risks and consequences are associated with crowding? And is the phenomenon the same as being busy? These questions and many more will be answered in this article, where we also explain how Praemostro's forecasting system can help alleviate crowding.

How to avoid burnout

Burnout is one of the most pressing challenges in today's job market. It not only takes a heavy toll on individual employees but also has significant consequences for the workplace as a whole. Read on to learn how Praemostro's forecasting system can help address this challenge.

“Exciting, visionary and documentable”

The Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department at Odense University Hospital (OUH) has been working with the Praemostro system since August 2022.

Statistics on steroids

Figuring out how to create a computer system that predicts busyness may seem a bit abstract to many people. Indeed, even more so given its surprisingly high accuracy. That’s why we’ve brought together the brains behind the Praemostro system for a chat about how the idea came about, how the development work was done – and how it works in practical terms. Read on and get a bit more insight into the “engine room” at Praemostro – a Latin word that can be translated to “I predict”.

When there are rushes in healthcare settings and it gets busier than staff can handle, this can have major consequences – for patients and staff alike. For patients, there is an increased risk of complications, they remain hospitalised for longer and satisfaction levels plummet. For staff, it leads to burnout and turnover.

Can the Praemostro system be used in your company?

We actually expect that our system can additionally be used in many other industries, including all places where the number of enquiries (or customers) increases, decreases and is affected by external factors for example, at restaurants, cafés, in supermarkets and grocery stores, shopping malls and ice cream parlours. Just to name a few.
