Sarasota Memorial Health Care System (SMH) shines as one of the largest employers in Sarasota County, proudly earning the prestigious distinction of being a Top 100 Hospital with Magnet Designation. The organization’s remarkable growth is a testament to its unwavering commitment to exceptional healthcare. 

As patient volumes continue to grow, SMH has successfully increased capacity to accommodate them. The system has done so by streamlining operations, developing system wide practice changes and implementing innovative solutions that enable teams to proactively address bottlenecks and ensure seamless patient flow.

This session explores how the SMH significantly improved discharge management with iQueue for Inpatient Flow, an AI-enabled automation tool from LeanTaaS. By leveraging iQueue’s bottleneck predictions to identify the units that would provide the greatest impact with prioritized discharges, SMH was able to streamline discharge prioritization and patient predictions, driving efficient discharges across the system.

Learn how SMH was able to use AI-enabled automation to transform its discharge management, and how other healthcare organizations can deploy similar solutions to yield benefits. 

Viewers of this webinar will be able to: 

• Outline the challenges SMH faced in managing capacity and throughput due to growing demand and limited insights to upcoming bottlenecks
• Describe how SMH implemented iQueue for Inpatient Flow to automate discharge prioritization and patient predictions
• Identify the benefits SMH has seen from using AI-enabled automation, including improved collaboration and communication from shift to shift, and a consistent and repeatable discharge process
