Securing the Future: Unlocking Capacity to Protect Access and Margins Amid Policy Shocks

Speakers

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, LeanTaaS

Summary

Hospitals today face a perfect storm: shrinking reimbursements, rising demand, and mounting workforce pressures. Policy shifts and federal funding cuts will amplify these pressures — threatening margins, straining staff, and jeopardizing patient access. Traditional levers like adding more staff or expanding physical capacity only accelerate costs without fixing the root problem.

In this keynote, Mohan Giridharadas, Founder and CEO of LeanTaaS, reveals why sophisticated math and AI have become board-level imperatives for operational and financial survival. With proven results from 200+ health systems, he will demonstrate how predictive analytics and optimization algorithms unlock hidden capacity, prevent costly gridlock, and deliver measurable ROI across perioperative services, infusion centers, and inpatient units. By aligning staff, space, and equipment with demand in real time, AI not only safeguards access and staff well-being but also generates the margin protection leaders need to navigate today’s financial headwinds.

This is more than efficiency — it’s a blueprint for C-suite leaders to transform hospital operations into a resilient, sustainable, and ROI-driven enterprise.

Learning objectives:

  • Explore strategies to align staff, space, and equipment dynamically with demand to reduce waste, avoid burnout, and improve patient throughput.
  • Discover the sophisticated mathematical models and algorithms that enable healthcare organizations to precisely match supply and demand, improving capacity utilization, reducing patient wait times, and optimizing operational efficiency.
  • Learn why the hub-and-spoke approach, perfected by airlines and logistics companies, is a blueprint for healthcare operations
  • Understand the ROI for AI and why it’s the only scalable way to unlock hidden capacity and protect margins.

Chapter 1: The Looming Challenge

If you work in the healthcare industry, or even if you’re just an interested observer, you don’t need a book to tell you that the financial pressure is on as never before. A perfect storm of circumstances is swirling together, one that will make survivability, not to mention profitability, a greater challenge for healthcare companies than we’ve seen in the modern era.

As with banks, retailers, and airlines, which had to rapidly enhance their brick-and-mortar footprints with robust online business models—it is the early movers eager to gain new efficiencies that will thrive and gain market share. The slow-to-move and the inefficient will end up being consolidated into larger health systems seeking to expand their geographical footprints.

The pressures on healthcare

Let’s look at just a few of the looming challenges healthcare must meet head-on.

An aging population

By the year 2030, the number of adults sixty-five years of age or older will exceed the number of children eighteen years or younger in the United States. We are living longer than our parents did. Positive news for sure, but problematic for several reasons.

The older we get, the more medical help we need. Older people have more chronic diseases. By 2025, nearly 50 percent of the population will suffer from one or more chronic diseases that will require ongoing medical intervention. This combination of an aging population and an increase in chronic diseases will create a ballooning demand for healthcare services.
