LeanTaaS Strengthens Leadership Team to Drive Strategic Growth

Rami Karjian, proven industry leader in healthcare operations and capacity, joins LeanTaaS as Head of the Operating Rooms business

SANTA CLARA, CA – Oct. 15, 2024 – LeanTaaS, Inc., the market leader in providing AI-powered and cloud-based capacity management, staffing, and patient flow software and services for health systems, today announced that Rami Karjian will lead the Operating Rooms business. Karjian brings to LeanTaaS a history of building, strengthening, and scaling innovative businesses, with decades of experience in healthcare transformation across an entire market landscape and a knack for solving complex capacity problems. He comes to LeanTaaS from industry pioneer Medically Home, where he was the co-founder and CEO.

“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Rami while we were at McKinsey, and I’m thrilled to welcome him to the LeanTaaS leadership team. His extensive operations and healthcare experience, both in capacity management and as an innovative entrepreneur, combined with his dynamic leadership abilities, make him the perfect fit to lead our perioperative business,” said Mohan Giridharadas, LeanTaaS founder and CEO. “LeanTaaS has a proven track record of delivering substantial impact through distinctive software solutions coupled with our unique delivery model of providing “transformation as a service”. With Rami’s leadership, we expect to increase the pace of our innovation as we partner with our 200 health system customers to address the most challenging problems they face.”

Prior to joining LeanTaaS, Karjian’s focus on operations, entrepreneurship, and innovation in healthcare led him to co-found Medically Home, the leader in hospital-at-home. Over the course of almost a decade, Karjian and his co-founders raised significant investor capital to scale the world’s first virtual hospital company whose customers cared for over 50% of all hospital-at-home patients in the country. He formed strategic relationships across the care-at-home ecosystem while partnering with premier health systems known for clinical excellence and innovation, such as Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente. Karjian is also the former President of Global Services & Software at Flextronics and was a Partner at McKinsey & Company.

“This new role is an extension of the work I have done throughout my career, focusing on transforming patient care by addressing complex, systemic issues. LeanTaaS has a scaled, proven platform that solves some of the most pressing problems plaguing our healthcare system by unlocking capacity in places where we’re desperately short, addressing a critical cost issue, and improving clinician and administrative workloads,” said Karjian. “Solving these three core issues in parallel with both software and services is how transformation is achieved in healthcare, driven by a passionate team with over a decade of deep expertise in optimization.”

This leadership news comes on the heels of LeanTaaS’ recent announcement of having crossed $150 million in annual contract value (ACV), while maintaining a consistent 30%+ annual growth rate over the past three years. Additionally, nearly 200 health systems across more than 1,200 hospitals and centers rely on LeanTaaS for AI-powered capacity optimization, with ~60% of customers on Epic’s® EHR and ~30% on Oracle Cerner’s EHR. Earlier this year, KLAS Research recognized LeanTaaS as the only fully rated and top solution provider in Capacity Optimization, with 100% customer satisfaction.

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.
