Summary

In this exclusive interview from Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit (June 10–11, 2025), Molly Gamble, Vice President of Editorial at Becker’s Healthcare, sits down with LeanTaaS Founder and CEO Mohan Giridharadas. The conversation is fueled by real, unfiltered questions submitted by health system leaders from across the country — covering pressing challenges like nurse burnout, AI’s role in reducing cognitive load, surgical scheduling inefficiencies, and the future of operational capacity in hospitals.

Mohan shares practical insights on how technology, data science, and artificial intelligence are transforming hospital operations — from reducing documentation burdens for nurses to triaging alerts in real-time and maximizing capacity without increasing infrastructure. This session captures the candid, executive-level dialogue driving innovation in healthcare operations today.

What got you here won’t get you there — especially in hospital operations. Solving today’s capacity crisis requires new tools, not new buildings, to maximize what you already have.

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.
