Optimizing the OR ecosystem: a holistic and AI-powered approach to perioperative transformation
Operating room (OR) efficiency is a key driver of both clinical and financial performance in healthcare, with ORs generating up to 70% of hospital revenue and up to 40% of expenses. The opportunity is clear, but past attempts to enhance OR efficiency often focused on isolated problems within the perioperative system—like early block release and […]
The Formula for OR Excellence: How LeanTaaS is Redefining Surgical Optimization
Healthcare systems are under growing pressure from rising demand, staffing shortages, and shrinking reimbursements, straining operations and worsening hospital economics. Traditional tools, manual processes, and dashboards fail to address the complexities of modern perioperative management. This webinar introduces a holistic approach that integrates workflows, room utilization, and staffing, with a focus on time optimization (the […]
Right Case, Right Place: Optimizing OR Scheduling Across Multiple Hospitals with AI for a 16% Increase in Staffed Room Utilization and 1,600 Incremental Cases
Hospital leaders are increasingly focused on ensuring the “right case in the right place” as they seek to enhance operational efficiency across multiple facilities. Multi-hospital systems face the complex challenge of coordinating surgical demand with operating room (OR) capacity while managing resources effectively. The reliance on outdated, manual block management processes exacerbates these challenges, limiting […]
How Providence Used AI-Enhanced Workflows to Capture 6k Cases in Incremental Surgical Volume and Improve Block Utilization by Nearly 5%
Providence Health, like many healthcare systems, faced significant challenges in optimizing operating room (OR) efficiency, often constrained by outdated block management practices, limited real-time visibility into OR availability, and artificially restricted capacity due to mismanaged block time. These inefficiencies limited Providence’s ability to maximize OR utilization, impacting patient access and delaying care. Kevin Streeter, Executive […]
Transforming OR Efficiency at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center: Leveraging AI to Achieve an 11% Increase in Block Utilization and a 7% Jump in Prime Time Utilization
Grant Medical Center, part of OhioHealth, was facing challenges common to many ORs, including inefficient scheduling practices, staffing constraints that impeded effective scheduling, and poorly informed management of surgical block time due to limited data availability. By partnering with LeanTaaS in September 2022, the center has made significant strides in OR efficiency, achieving an 11% […]
Transforming Surgical Operations: A Physician Executive’s Guide to Lasting Impact
In this panel session, Ihab Dorotta, MD, Chief of Quality & Patient Safety at Loma Linda University Health will lead a discussion on the need for health system executives to adopt new approaches in managing perioperative resources. Panelists will share insights on how they are leveraging innovative technologies to streamline surgical coordination, optimize block scheduling, […]
Lee Health Streamlines Scheduling and Reduces Workforce Expense by 30%
A large Florida-based health system comprising roughly 50% employed providers and 50% community providers, Lee Health relied heavily on faxes to schedule surgical cases. To promote more efficient scheduling, eliminate extra work for staff, and continue delivering perioperative care to its extensive patient community, Lee Health needed a solution to standardize and streamline communications and […]
How OHSU Alleviated Staffing Challenges in the OR
Located in Portland, OR, Oregon Health and Science University’s (OHSU) Center for Health and Healing (CHH) has 15 ORs and employs 91 perioperative RNs and surgical technicians. CHH shares staff with two other facilities and prioritizes staff cross-training and development.
Cone Health Streamlines Surgical Coordination and Boosts Efficiency
Cone Health, one of North Carolina’s largest not-for-profit health systems, implemented LeanTaaS’ Real-Time View to optimize utilization of their operating rooms and improve surgical care coordination. The solution helped the health system enhance communication, increase efficiency, and streamline operations across their 73 operating and procedural rooms, which manage approximately 50,000 cases annually.
AI-Powered Solutions for Improving OR Efficiency & Optimizing Block Management
Perioperative leaders often grapple with the challenge of optimizing operating room (OR) time. The prevalent mindset among surgeons—that their designated block time is the sole method for accessing the OR—compounds this issue. Traditional block management processes tend to be manual, time-consuming, and retrospective, further hindering efficiency. Join us to learn how health systems like MultiCare […]
