Stop firefighting and bring a new level of control and understanding
to your healthcare workforce scheduling with Frontier.

Unprecedented demand on your staff and resources has made efficient workforce scheduling essential.
But having to make sense of a flood of hospital data, constantly changing circumstances and overworked
nurses can make for disjointed work practices. And a negative impact on patient care.


“By using this leading technology developed with Faculty, we are helping to support frontline staff in their ongoing mission to save as many lives as they can by equipping them with the most accurate information.”

Ming Tang, Chief Data & Analytics Officer at NHS England

“This is critical in helping us determine when to ramp up capacity”

Director, Imperial College Health Partners

A step-change, powered by Frontier

•  Minimize administrative tasks – all existing data in systems is surfaced to users in a way they can use it.

•  Play forward and rewind the state of your system – to understand what is happening, get ahead of the fires, and plan for the future

•  Understand the drivers of change – by unpicking the ‘root cause’ of operational and contextual drivers of performance

•  Find the optimal allocation of resources – run simulations that help quantify the balance between the things that matter most – patient, staff, operational and financial.

•  Support continuous service improvement – evaluating after the fact whether the actions you took had the intended effect.
