A new project in Varde Municipality highlights how data simulation tools can significantly improve efficiency for CIOs, enabling providers to deliver high-quality care while optimising their services and reducing costs.

Home care services are a critical component of healthcare, providing essential support to patients in their homes. However, caregivers often face challenges in managing their workload, leading to burnout and reduced quality of care.

By analysing data on patient needs and preferences, as well as caregiver workload and travel time, Varde Municipality was able to optimise scheduling and routing, reduce travel time, increase efficiency, and ultimately improve the quality of care for patients.

Based on similar projects in Danish municipalities, Deloitte estimates that data-driven simulation and decision-making can help reduce overall costs by 5 to 10 percent in home care services.
