Healthcare: Discover the Paragon partnership
The Healthcare industry has been facing new challenges, which challenge traditional and rigid models for management and innovation in an increasingly competitive environment.
Controlling costs, responding to new regulations, and improving the patient experience are just some of the goals that benefit from predictive modeling in healthcare.
Properly scaling resources for an emergency service area, encompassing healthcare professionals – attendants, nurses, doctors – as well as equipment and resources is an effective way to reduce patient waiting times.
The hospitality resources, as well as the use of beds and ICU, represent very high costs. Mathematical studies offered by PARAGON can obtain greater productivity in the allocation of resources, with cost reduction generating returns to shareholders.
Emergency situations such as pandemics, serious accidents or disasters can easily compromise the full existing healthcare system. A correct model for meeting these challenges means saving lives.

How we solve your problem
The PARAGON team is formed by experts in decision-making tools. Said tools include statistical, modeling, management and data visualization software and methodologies. We use the most modern simulation, optimization, scheduling and data visualization technologies. Our main goal is to offer security for decision making, presenting results and simple alternatives for complex problems that help reaching the productivity and profitability targets through cost reduction and investment optimization.
Search for excellence in service
Telemedicine, with its positive results and gaining space in the reality of medical care, brought an issue to the center of the discussion: service excellence through technology.
There is a repressed demand for elective medical procedures due to the pandemic, and agility with efficiency will be fundamental for a healthcare company to position itself competitively in the market.
Clients are more demanding and want a tailor made relationship with healthcare professionals. It is in this scenario that data technology will be decisive for gaining performance.
Companies need to map data from all healthcare routines:
- Waiting time for the first service;
- Average period for scheduling appointments and exams;
- Delivery time for exams, mainly of high complexity;
- Age of technical and medical equipment park;
- Availability level of medical equipment;
- Equipment maintenance cost.
These are just some of the performance indicators that need to be considered in a project to adapt performance to meet current market and demand conditions.
It is essential to create a virtual environment that considers the dynamics of the different areas, the input and output of requests and data between them, as well as the flow of information to meet quality parameters.
In this digital scenario developed by PARAGON with state-of-the-art software and methodologies, healthcare companies can simulate flows based on real and proposed results.
In this way, the company can choose an ideal flow that maximizes the benefits of each step and eliminates risks that directly affect the relationship with clients and profitability:
- Delays;
- Very long deadlines;
- High maintenance cost;
- Constant equipment breaks.
Smart asset and procurement management
The healthcare industry has one of the most complex and diversified networks of assets and supplies, whether it is a maternity hospital, a network of laboratories for imaging exams or a hospital.
We are talking about asset management – equipment in all industries – and materials – the inputs used in medical and hospital procedures.
The maintenance and procurement areas are at the heart of the efficiency of said management, but there is a broader scope – investment policies and strategic planning.
The mathematical modeling used in the PARAGON projects allows large volume data to be handled to define the best operating model and gain:
- Visibility and total control of assets with performance data and allowing maintenance and fleet renewal plans to be efficient;
- Efficient procurement management, eliminating shortages and waste.
Virtualization of medical care
Telemedicine is a reality in an increasing number of healthcare facilities and doctors’ offices. Innovation will allow companies to gain agility with a guarantee of high performance never thought of before.
The benefits of virtual appointments passed the great test of social isolation and went far beyond reducing the movement of people on the streets:
- Alleviate operational structures in offices and healthcare units;
- Provide assistance for people with mobility difficulties;
- Reduce the volume of care in medical centers;
- Improve the quality of medical care, with less travel and reduced work in offices.
Systems and processes in healthcare units (including offices here) need to define the steps of medical care virtualization.
With PARAGON, it is possible to develop a project to implement or expand medical telecare and share information with laboratories, hospitals and clinics.
Using data modeling from different areas, scenarios can be tested and validated for the quality and fluency of information before defining the resources that will be allocated.
Healthcare: Paragon Clients
New projects and updates can be risky to carry out. Reduce the risk of excessive expenses and delays with the best upfront planning, and project design and architectures tested by over 1,000 Paragon clients since 1992.
