The Challenge: Turning Predictions into Decisions

For NSW Health, allocating billions of dollars effectively meant more than just budgeting. Planners needed to see the future impact of their decisions. While they had vast amounts of data, they lacked a way to translate raw predictions into clear, actionable insights for resource allocation across the state's complex health system.

"How do we turn thousands of predictions into a single, confident investment strategy?"

Without a dedicated platform, it was impossible to simulate and compare the system-wide effects of different service delivery choices. This risked inefficient use of funds, inequitable distribution of care, and missed opportunities for long-term, evidence-based planning.

Our FDE Approach: Building HealthAPP, an Insight Engine

PAG partnered with NSW Health to design and deliver HealthAPP, a living scenario-modelling platform. Our engineers built a system designed not just to forecast, but to translate those forecasts into actionable intelligence for decision-makers.

  • Accurate Forecasting: Deployed advanced econometric and predictive models to accurately simulate demand, resources, and clinical outcomes for any scenario.
  • Granular Simulation: Enabled planners to define and test scenarios at any level-from statewide groups (SRGs, ESRGDs) down to individual hospitals.
  • Intuitive Insight Layer: Most critically, the platform translated complex model outputs into clear, comparative metrics on efficiency, equity, and quality of care, allowing for true side-by-side evaluation of different strategies.
