Aya Healthcare acquired Flexwise Health, which offers technology to forecast gaps in patient demand and staffing levels. Its aim is to assist hospitals in optimizing resource allocation and cost.

“We’re excited to offer Flexwise to help healthcare systems reduce labor costs by using the power of predictive analytics in their staffing processes,” Aya President and CEO Alan Braynin said. “We will continue to make significant investments into advanced technologies to drive greater efficiencies and superior operating results for our clients.”

Flexwise will be added to Aya’s suite of software solutions, which includes vendor management and float pool technology.

The American Hospital Association was an early investor in Flexwise along with several member organizations.
