Understanding the impact of AI in Healthcare at LeanTaaS’ Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit

May 19, 2023

Calling all hospital and health system leaders looking to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to better your operations. Mark your calendar for June 6-7, 2023, and get ready to optimize your hospital performance with AI at LeanTaaS’s fifth Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit. 

Hosted in partnership with Becker’s Healthcare, the fifth Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit will take place June 6-7, 2023, and focus on 2023’s most top-of-mind area in healthcare: AI. The two-day program will connect over 5,000 attendees with health system executives, technology leaders, and industry experts to discuss how hospitals across the U.S. are using AI and predictive and prescriptive analytics tools to improve asset utilization, better deploy and empower staff, and connect with a higher number of patients. 

On day one, LeanTaaS’ President and Chief Operating Officer, Sanjeev Agrawal, will open the summit with a keynote session on how health systems can deploy the “magic equation” of  proven AI, intelligent automation, and effective change management to transform their operations, delivering growth, systemness, and ROI.  

Additionally, Sanjeev will join with Brian Dawson, MSN, RN-BC, CNOR, CSSM, System VP of Perioperative Services, CommonSpirit Health, to discuss how CommonSpirit transformed their surgical operations through a strategic and system-wide partnership with LeanTaaS. 

In addition to provocative thought leadership sessions, the two-day event features three unique asset-focused learning tracks to create a custom event: Perioperative, Infusion Centers, and Inpatient Flow. These sessions are filled with real-life case studies featuring healthcare leaders who have  implemented AI initiatives and improved outcomes for multiple lines of business. Notable guest speakers include:

  • Brian Kann, MD, FACS, FASCRS, Interim Chair Dept. of Colon & Rectal Surgery, Ochsner Health, on enhancing surgeon engagement while optimizing resources like block time and robots 
  • Catherine Lina Santana, BSN, RN, OCN, NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center; Justin Ngai, MSN, RN-BC, NE-BC Operations Manager- Adult Infusion Center NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, on creating access for add-on patients while reducing wait times overall  
  • Darlene Tad-Y, MD, MS, RN, NEA-BC, ACMO for Patient Flow, University of Colorado Hospital and Medical Director, Capacity Management and Patient Flow at UCHealth; Jamie Nordhagen, Senior Director, Patient Flow and Capacity Management, Patient Representatives at UCHealth, on strategically streamlining patient flow across a state-wide health system

Additionally, LeanTaaS executives will join day two for expert sessions and product deep dives. Pamm Tobias, Director of Customer Success, iQueue for Infusion Centers, will lead the closing session on the effectiveness of using acuity metrics to drive infusion staffing, and the surprising results of the study she led. 

These sessions will spotlight, with supporting data, how essential LeanTaaS’ technology has been in improving outcomes and operations for these health systems – from a $40M ROI, a 25% increase in patient volume, and an additional $120k per inpatient bed in margins annually – and more. 

Over two days, Transform will feature 17 total sessions that explore the applications of AI in healthcare to unlock scarce capacity, optimize staff availability, and deliver sustainable, value-generating outcomes.

In a time where margins continue to tighten across the board for hospitals and health systems, organizations must reexamine operating efficiency opportunities that maximize asset utilization and ultimately increase value. Healthcare AI is the key.

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.
