Develop operational decision support tools to provide enterprise insights and assist in health system wide issues. This vertical addresses the nursing workforce crisis through AI-driven forecasting, using DeepAR models trained on 5 years of historical data to predict nursing demand and attrition up to 12 months ahead. The preemptive hiring strategy is estimated to save close to $10 million annually across just 10 of Northwell's 400+ units by reducing reliance on flex staff and overtime. Also includes unsupervised clustering to phenotype nurse attrition and identify modifiable factors.
