I didn’t know Deloitte did that? Laura’s story

Laura, a recent graduate with a master’s degree in economics from the University of Copenhagen, has always been interested in how society works, especially in Denmark, where the public sector plays a central role. Laura was introduced to Deloitte by a friend and was immediately fascinated by the opportunity to create real change and a positive impact on society.

The welfare state as we know it is under pressure. One of the biggest challenges is the pressure to deliver high-quality care to older people and patients, despite limited resources and staff shortages. How do we overcome these obstacles and continue to make prosperity synonymous with Denmark?

This is Laura’s job. As a consultant working on projects related to public healthcare and elderly care, she gains valuable insights into the challenges clients face in these sectors.

A challenged welfare system

In her daily work, Laura has the opportunity to interview several key stakeholders within healthcare and aged care to deepen her understanding of the challenges. Something that turned out to be the key to her success at work:

Despite the difficulties, I am inspired by the dedication and drive of the staff, who are passionate about delivering the best possible care to their patients. While the challenges are significant, I believe there is opportunity for improvement in the sector.

By optimizing healthcare operations, Laura and her team at Deloitte have found they can contribute to both the sustainability and workforce challenges in the healthcare industry. They have identified opportunities to reduce travel time and distance, which not only helps reduce carbon emissions but also frees up resources and staff time.

Improving healthcare operations

Laura and her team collect data from healthcare and aged care systems to identify potential areas for improvement. They use this data to simulate different scenarios and identify opportunities to optimize operations, such as improving route planning or increasing the use of technology. To complement the theoretical potential of the analysis, Laura and her team are currently developing a planning tool designed to assist municipalities in their daily tasks in healthcare and elderly care. The intention is that the tool will be ready for implementation in the pilot municipality at the beginning of summer. It will enable municipalities to maximize their potential for daily planning optimization, helping them make data-driven decisions and optimize operations in real time:

Even though this process is complex, it is essential for achieving real results. By taking this approach, municipalities can identify areas for improvement and implement changes that have the potential to have a significant impact on driving time and therefore potentially free time for patient care.

Making an impact that matters

Laura’s team at Deloitte is working to make a difference for healthcare professionals who are passionate about delivering high-quality care to their patients. By optimizing activities and providing tools to assist with planning and planning, they help reduce stress and improve the quality of care. Laura’s team supports healthcare professionals to do their best work and make a real difference in the lives of their patients by optimizing operations and providing support. They help create a more sustainable and effective healthcare system.

Laura’s team is tackling one of the most pressing challenges facing our society today: the growing burden of aged care and the increasing difficulty of recruiting healthcare professionals with the necessary competencies into the aged care sector. By analyzing healthcare operations and identifying opportunities for improvement, they have an impact that matters to patients, healthcare professionals and society as a whole.

Fulfilling purpose at Deloitte

This work is not only a professional mission, but also a personal one. By contributing to the greater good and making a difference in people’s lives, Laura fulfills her values ​​and goals:

I simply dream of ensuring that our welfare state remains competitive and that the services provided through the public sector remain robust and strong. My team and I have unique insights and skills that ensure this.

She wants to make a difference and help other people succeed. Working on projects related to the healthcare sector and helping healthcare employees to free up time or make even better use of their scarce resources helps her with this.
