Deepinsight Hero is created together with those who know everyday hospital operations best: healthcare professionals. We practice user-centered innovation, with an open and dynamic roadmap that reflects the needs of hospitals. When users share their input and feedback, they quickly see results in the solution. Small adjustments, major improvements, and entirely new ideas are continuously incorporated into Deepinsight Hero—often within the same week, sometimes the very same day.

Below is a selection of new functionality and improvements introduced in Deepinsight Hero over the past six months.

Major improvements

From free text to active decision support in planning

We have introduced a language model into the solution to make important planning information more accessible and easier to use in operational planning.

In practice, a lot of critical information is found in comments and free-text fields. This information has always been available to planners, but required active reading, interpretation, and consolidation to be useful in planning work. With the language model, relevant information can be automatically extracted and structured, and used directly across multiple parts of the solution.

The structured information is used, among other things, to provide more relevant patient suggestions when filling the schedule, to structure the waiting list and make it easier to find the right patients, and to support more active and targeted work with the waiting list. This reduces cognitive load for planners, freeing up time for actual assessments and prioritization.

The solution is built to support established workflows. Planners continue to work as before, but with significantly reduced manual interpretation effort. All assessment and decision-making still rests with the user.

From plan to well-composed operating room days

We have launched a new planning dialog that supports planners in composing well-balanced operating room days, using the plan as a starting point.

The dialog provides relevant patient suggestions based on the constraints of the operating room and the day, while allowing planners to explore and compare different alternatives. This makes it possible to assess how patients fit together and choose the combination that delivers the best overall outcome.

The consequences of choices are visualized along the way, including utilization, overtime, and balance throughout the day. The dialog, therefore, supports finding the most suitable patients without limiting the planner’s professional autonomy.

The surgical schedule: everything in one place

We have continued to improve the surgical schedule to make it planners’ best support in a busy workday, helping ensure optimal execution of surgeries.

The schedule can now be viewed by day, week, or month, depending on the time horizon needed. It is also possible to filter by operating room, surgeon, or procedure type, or to see available time slots. New this fall is the ability for planners to save these sorting options as personal filters, making it easy to return to the same view whenever needed.

To further support planners, we have made it clearer how many procedures are scheduled in each operating room. The surgical schedule also provides alerts when postoperative capacity is approaching its limit, helping ensure safe and efficient execution of all planned procedures.

Predicting waiting lists per surgeon

To create balanced plans, it is important to know whether the right mix of outpatient activity and surgery is in place. To support the principle of responsible physician continuity, Deepinsight Hero can predict waiting lists per surgeon. This makes it possible to identify where plans should be adjusted and to track waiting list trends.

Filling recurring activities with AI and rules

It is now significantly easier to fill in fixed and recurring activities. These typically include standing arrangements, such as an employee being off every Friday or having a regular outpatient clinic on Tuesdays. Managing templates, rules, and logic can be complex, so we have made it possible to describe rules and patterns in a single sentence using artificial intelligence. This replaces the need for many different templates.

If a surgeon’s needs change, it is easy to search for the surgeon directly and view or edit the rules without affecting existing plans.

Other updates

History for planning comments that preserves previous assessments: Planning comments now have version history, so earlier assessments are not lost when comments are updated. This makes it easier to understand what has already been considered and reduces the need to reconstruct decision rationales.

Better waiting list structure and more relevant patient suggestions: Patients with “On Hold” status are excluded from patient suggestions and are easily accessible in the waiting list via filters, allowing follow-up to be addressed at the appropriate time.

Improved waiting list filters: Adjusted filters make it easier to find the right patients and work more efficiently through the waiting list.

More accurate patient suggestions: The language model captures operating room constraints and ensures unsuitable patients are excluded from suggestions, without additional manual effort.

Historical execution data: View how similar schedules have been executed previously as decision support when creating tactical plans.

Prioritization of patient groups: It is now possible to prioritize patient groups as part of tactical planning.

Simpler and faster search: Find information and navigate the solution easily using the Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut.

Quick editing of activities: Easily drag and drop activities, use shortcuts to add or delete activities, and edit multiple cells at once.

Full control of plans: The solution now shows important statuses such as how much of the plan is filled, allocated operating rooms without an assigned surgeon, days without on-call coverage or shifts, and surgeons missing activities on specific days.
