2022 generated unprecedented milestones and achievements for LeanTaaS. We wish to celebrate what our team – customers, employees, and stakeholders – has accomplished together. Our healthcare system partners continue to leverage our analytics-based iQueue solutions, powered by machine learning and AI, to unlock much-needed unused asset capacity at a time when many resources are scarce. In doing so, they often simultaneously realize significant increases in revenue and patient access. Meanwhile LeanTaaS as a company has expanded its scope and been recognized many times by thought leaders of the healthcare industry.

We thank both our partners and our team for their invaluable contributions to our collective success, and look forward to continuing our journey together using iQueue to expand healthcare access during a critical time. Through the contributions of our healthcare providers, technology leaders, and other experts across all our functions, this is what we have achieved, and we will continue realizing our vision in 2023 and in the years to come.

LeanTaaS now and in the future

Our existing iQueue solutions operate on best-in-industry analytic platforms that work with healthcare systems to : 

Our ultimate long-term vision is to be the “Air Traffic Control” system of a hospital, to direct patient flow throughout the whole healthcare system while unlocking capacity and enabling cost-effective growth for the organization. Beyond our current solution focuses, we plan to continue diving deep into operational workflows and constraints associated with each individual type of healthcare asset, until the entire health system is connected as one smoothly-running organism. 

Growth milestones: expanding the reach of AI healthcare analytics

  • In June 2022, Bain Capital Private Equity acquired a stake in LeanTaaS. This considerable growth capital investment will fuel our continued development and let us rapidly innovate our iQueue solutions to both serve more health systems and remove further care capacity pain points with accuracy.
  • US News & World Report listed the Top 100 Cancer Hospitals in the US; 57 of these are users of our flagship iQueue for Infusion Centers solution, which reliably optimizes infusion operations for better nurse workdays, shorter patient wait times, and more efficient use of infusion chairs and space. iQueue covers over 20% of the total infusion chairs in the US market and is used by over 80% of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and nearly 60% of National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Centers.
  • iQueue for Operating Rooms expanded to over 50 customers, and continued to show notable results. The University of Kansas Health System, for example, achieved a new record of case volume, growing by 8% despite a 7% reduction in OR capacity due to ongoing construction.
  • Our fastest growing product, iQueue for Inpatient Flow, has already shown significant outcomes in streamlining patient flow and expanding usable bed capacity in hospitals, contributing to our vision of a full “air traffic control” throughout the health system.
  • NewsWeek released a list of the World’s Best Smart Hospitals for 2023, ranking those best positioned to use technology to transform care delivery. One third of the list are LeanTaaS customers. 

All these milestones represent an enormous confidence and excitement in what healthcare systems can achieve using AI. Further, the recognitions LeanTaaS has earned in recent months reflect our proven expansion as a company. 

Recognitions and awards: celebrating the success and potential of healthcare in AI

  • The 2022 Big Awards for Business honored the entire iQueue product suite in the “New Product of the Year” category, and our Gartner case study with key customer Baptist Health won the “Case Study of the Year” category.
