Summary

AI is the new frontier in healthcare. To succeed in a data-filled world, healthcare leaders must embrace AI-based solutions rather than relying on manual processes or restricted by the mediocrity of current technologies. AI’s ability to wade through large data sets is leading to quicker discoveries, reduced clinical errors, and improved provider and patient experience. AI is not just something that is transformative for the clinical decision process, the power of AI for Hospital Operations is equally if not more compelling. Covid has shown us the importance of managing day to day decision making processes a lot better with more predictive and prescriptive analytics and workflow tool.

Results

Created wait-free infusion appointments

Increased clinical time time for nurses by eliminating manual processes

Improved patient satisfaction through automated scheduling

AI also provides a more seamless in-person visit, such as a “waitless” IV infusion experience that has been made possible through LeanTaaS’ iQueue for Infusion Centers. Patients at Novant Health’s cancer care centers now use their iPhone, look at available times, and pick when they want to go to which chair, and just go without spending extra time in the waiting room. This has become a tremendous patient satisfier and has led to more consistent workflows for staff as patients tend to stick with the appointment they chose for themselves.
