Reduce burnout, improve retention and save money

hc1 Workforce Optimization helps lab leaders precisely schedule staff by predicting demand for lab services across the organization and suggesting specific, department-level resource adjustments.

hc1 expertise combined with AI and ML makes being proactive a reality

hc1’s team of data scientists leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in various applications. We are helping to identify early access at-risk Alzheimer's patients, bring life-saving drugs to market sooner and identify at-risk patients across a variety of disease states. 

We’re also using AI in Workforce Optimization to solve a crucial operational problem for lab leaders: predicting demand for lab services across the organization. hc1’s machine learning model takes existing lab volume and HRIS data, measures it against a large existing dataset and projects future trends. We then turn these insights into direct, actionable recommendations to optimize your staffing levels.

Our laboratory staffing solution provides workload analysis and business impact metrics.
