🎙️ In this episode, Sergey Vasilenko shares how In-House Health is helping acute-care hospitals and post-acute care facilities (particularly skilled nursing and long-term care) reduce their dependency on agency and travel nurses by predicting workforce demand before it happens.

Drawing from his decade in the neuro ICU, Sergey explains how their AI-powered platform uses real-time data to forecast staffing needs, optimize shift assignments, and cut costly overtime — giving head nurses and leaders visibility into what's coming next instead of reacting to last-minute shortages.

He also discusses how In-House Health integrates with EHR and HR systems, the insights learned from its hospital design partners, and the challenges of building smarter scheduling tools with nurses rather than for them.
