Unlocking Hidden Capacity: How The START Center Avoided Facility Expansion Through Data-Driven Optimization
The START Center for Cancer Care operated two high-volume infusion centers facing capacity constraints: Medical Center with 52 chairs and 9 RNs and 2 LVNs, and Sonterra with 32 chairs and 5 RNs and 1 LVN. Both struggled with load leveling and Medical Center with limited growth capacity, raising questions about costly facility expansion. Instead […]
Running the Modern Infusion Center: The Future of Infusion Starts with Operational Intelligence
Infusion centers do not necessarily need more chairs—they need greater visibility into how capacity, demand, and staffing interact throughout the day. Scheduling complexity, operational variability, and disconnected workflows can contribute to longer waits, uneven workloads, and underused capacity. This session explores a more advanced operating model for infusion operations: one that can anticipate constraints, support […]
From Skepticism to Success: How Inova Maintained 152% Patient Hour Growth and Happier Nurses During Staffing Constraints
Facing severe understaffing at Inova Adult Infusion, leadership needed to maintain the same patient volumes with fewer nurses—but the proposed solution, Nurse Pull scheduling, met understandable skepticism from frontline staff. This session reveals how Senior Director Monica Cfarku navigated legitimate concerns and partnered with Practice Manager Tricila Ronquilo to successfully implement a new staffing model. […]
Running the Modern Health System: Turning Operational Intelligence Into Action
Health systems do not necessarily have a capacity problem—they have a flow and coordination problem. Fragmented data, disconnected workflows, and delayed decision-making can create bottlenecks across the patient journey, increasing pressure on both patients and care teams. This session explores a more advanced operating model for inpatient flow: one that can sense emerging constraints, anticipate […]
From Fragmented to Flow: How Vanderbilt Health Built a Data-Driven Foundation for Hospital-Wide Operational Excellence
Vanderbilt Health collaborated with LeanTaaS to update patient flow operations from manual, fragmented reporting to an automated, AI-powered decision-making system that has become as mission-critical as their EHR. By implementing a comprehensive suite of Inpatient Flow tools — including real-time capacity management, predictive discharge analytics with Epic integration, and mobile-accessible executive dashboards — Vanderbilt Health […]
$12M+ in Recoverable Capacity: How Baptist Health in Arkansas Reframed ED Boarding as a System-Wide Flow Challenge
ED boarding, transfer friction, delayed discharges, and lost capacity are not isolated problems—they are daily signs of fragmented operations and misaligned decision-making. In this session, Greg Brown, Associate System VP of the Patient Command Center/Healthline, will share how Baptist Health in Arkansas addressed these pressures by combining AI-enabled predictive insights with standardized workflows and system-wide […]
48% Fewer ED Boarding Hours: How Baptist Health Louisville Built a More Predictable Patient Flow Operating Model
Many health systems have multidisciplinary rounds, discharge planning processes, and daily huddles in place. The challenge isn’t deciding what meetings to hold—it’s ensuring teams have the right information, at the right time, to identify barriers earlier, coordinate action across departments, and keep patients progressing through the hospital. Baptist Health Louisville partnered with LeanTaaS to build […]
50%+ Reduction in Late Cancellations: How OHSU Scaled Coordinated Case Planning to Prepare Patients Earlier
Preparing patients for surgery is often treated as a series of individual preoperative tasks, but at scale, disconnected workflows can quickly become a barrier to surgical access. At OHSU, preparation was concentrated close to the day of surgery, leaving limited time to resolve missed instructions, transportation needs, illness concerns, and other readiness gaps. The organization […]
Running the Modern Operating Room: The Future of Perioperative Coordination Starts with Operational Intelligence
Health systems do not necessarily need more OR capacity—they need to make better use of the capacity they already have. Variability, disconnected workflows, and delayed decision-making can leave valuable surgical time underutilized while teams struggle to balance access, efficiency, and demand. This session explores a more advanced operating model for surgical services: one that can […]
