Forecast tomorrow's busiest transport hours
Every night, WebRun opens Patient Focused Systems, reviews trip volume by hour over recent weeks for tomorrow's day of week, identifies the likely peak windows, logs the forecast and a recommended porter count per shift to a Google Sheet, and posts your staffing coordinator a Slack heads-up before the next shift is set.

How do I forecast peak-hour staffing for hospital patient transport?
WebRun reviews 8 weeks of trip history in Patient Focused Systems each night to forecast tomorrow's peak transport hours by shift. It logs the forecast and a recommended porter count to a Google Sheet, then posts your staffing coordinator a Slack heads-up for any shift that looks light, so schedules get adjusted before a peak hour catches the floor short-staffed.
- Staffing coordinator sees tomorrow's peak hours before the schedule is finalized
- Light shifts are flagged automatically against 8 weeks of real history
- Porter counts are recommended per shift instead of guessed
Built for patient transport staffing coordinators · hospital workforce planners · transport department managers · charge porters

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it schedule porters automatically?
No. It logs a forecast and a recommended porter count per shift, the staffing coordinator still makes and confirms the actual schedule.
How far back does it look to build the forecast?
8 weeks of trip history for the matching day of week by default, so a forecast for a Tuesday is built from recent Tuesdays rather than an average across every day.
What happens if a shift is already fully staffed?
It only flags a shift in Slack when scheduled staffing looks light against the forecast, so a fully staffed shift generates no alert at all.
