One-size-fits-all tools fail healthcare because they ignore the unique rhythms of patient influxes and compliance mandates. We build custom AI models from scratch, trained on your historical data—from ER admissions to pharmacy dispensing patterns. This isn't a template; it's a flexible system engineered for your exact workflow, integrating seamlessly with EHR systems like Epic or Cerner. Short on time? Our process delivers a prototype in weeks, scaling to handle multi-site operations without the subscription bloat.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Supply Chain
Precision Demand Prediction
Precision Demand Prediction: Our AI achieves 92% forecast accuracy, compared to the 65% industry average, preventing critical shortages of items like PPE and ventilators during peaks such as COVID-19 surges. This means uninterrupted patient care and reduced emergency procurement costs by 30% within the first quarter of implementation.
Optimized Cash Flow and Storage
Optimized Cash Flow and Storage: Minimize overstock on shelf-life-sensitive supplies like chemotherapy drugs and blood products, cutting waste by 28%—a benchmark exceeded in our deployments across 50+ hospitals. Free up warehouse space and capital for core operations, like expanding telehealth services and investing in new MRI equipment.
Compliance-Ready Automation
Compliance-Ready Automation: Built-in alerts for FDA recalls, USP <797> sterile compounding standards, and lot tracking ensure HIPAA and Joint Commission adherence, reducing audit risks by 40%. Teams report 50% less time on manual compliance checks over six months, focusing instead on patient outcomes and quality improvement initiatives.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were scrambling every flu and RSV season with IV fluid and electrolyte solution shortages—lost a full shift's worth of treatments last winter, delaying care for 50 patients. Their custom forecast integrated our Epic EHR data and cut our stockouts from 15% to under 2% in just six months. It's like having a crystal ball for our pharmacy needs, ensuring we never miss a beat during peak illness periods."
Dr. Maria Gonzalez
Chief Procurement Officer, 450-Bed Regional Health Network in the Midwest
"Juggling supplies across three outpatient clinics was a nightmare; expired antibiotics and vaccines cost us $45K last year alone, forcing budget reallocations from staff training. AIQ's system now pulls from our Cerner records and supplier APIs for real-time lot tracking, saving us 22% on inventory spend in the first year. The intuitive dashboard has freed up my team for actual patient care, like streamlining vaccine distribution."
Tom Reilly
Supply Chain Manager, Multi-Site Community Medical Group Serving 200K Patients Annually
"Global semiconductor shortages hit our imaging devices and infusion pumps hard—we overordered and tied up $200K in unused stock for over eight months, straining our capital budget. After implementing AIQ's AI, forecasts adjusted in real-time based on supplier lead times, and we're now at 95% utilization across all modalities. No more guesswork; it's transformed our budgeting process for annual equipment planning."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting handle HIPAA compliance?
We design every system with HIPAA at its core, using encrypted data pipelines and role-based access controls. Your sensitive patient-derived data—like admission patterns influencing supply needs—stays secure through anonymization techniques and audit logs. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds undergo third-party security reviews, ensuring compliance without slowing down forecasts. In practice, this means your procurement team gets accurate predictions on med demand from ER volumes without ever exposing PHI. We've helped clinics pass Joint Commission audits seamlessly, reducing compliance overhead by 35%.
What data sources does the AI use for healthcare forecasting?
Our models pull from your internal systems first: EHR records for patient volumes, pharmacy dispensing logs, and historical purchase orders. We layer in external factors like CDC flu reports, weather impacts on elective procedures, and supplier lead times via APIs. For a mid-sized hospital, this might include analyzing 18 months of data to predict IV bag needs during summer heatwaves. No black-box magic—everything's transparent, with your team able to trace predictions back to sources. This targeted approach delivers 92% accuracy, far surpassing manual methods.
How long does it take to implement for a multi-facility provider?
Implementation varies by complexity, but we typically roll out a core forecasting system in 6-8 weeks for SMB providers. Start with discovery (1-2 weeks), where we map your data silos across sites. Then, model building and testing (3-4 weeks), followed by integration and training (1-2 weeks). For a network of three clinics, we once went live in five weeks by prioritizing high-impact items like oncology drugs. Post-launch, we optimize iteratively—no big-bang disruptions. Your operations continue uninterrupted, with quick wins like reduced overstock visible in the first month.
Can this system integrate with our existing EHR like Epic?
Absolutely—deep, two-way integrations are our specialty. We connect directly to Epic's APIs for real-time pulls of encounter data, which feeds into demand models without manual exports. This eliminates the 'data island' problem common in healthcare, where forecasts ignore actual usage. For instance, if surgical volumes spike, the AI adjusts implant orders automatically. We've integrated with Epic, Cerner, and Meditech in 80% of our healthcare projects, ensuring scalability as you add modules. No brittle connectors; our custom code handles updates and maintains 99% sync reliability.
What if our supply chain faces unexpected disruptions, like a drug recall?
Our AI is built for resilience, with dynamic scenario modeling that simulates disruptions like FDA recalls or manufacturer shortages. It cross-references your inventory against recall lists in real-time, triggering alternative sourcing alerts. During the 2022 saline shortage, a client using our system pivoted suppliers 48 hours faster than peers, avoiding procedure delays. The system learns from each event, improving future predictions—say, factoring in geopolitical risks for imported devices. This proactive edge reduces downtime by 40%, keeping your facilities stocked without panic buys.
How do you ensure the forecasts are accurate for seasonal healthcare demands?
Accuracy comes from blending your historical data with predictive variables tailored to healthcare cycles. We train models on patterns like winter respiratory surges or summer trauma increases, achieving 90%+ precision in benchmarks. For a regional provider, this meant forecasting 25% higher ventilator needs during RSV season, based on pediatric admission trends. Regular retraining—quarterly or after major events—keeps it sharp. Unlike static tools, ours adapts to your unique patient demographics, delivering forecasts that feel intuitive yet data-driven, saving hours of guesswork.
