Summary

The challenges facing healthcare operations today—rising demand, staff shortages, poor asset utilization, and shrinking reimbursements—demand a transformative approach. Dashboards and traditional tools are no longer enough to address the complexity of inpatient capacity, throughput, and staffing challenges. Instead, healthcare systems must adopt innovative solutions that combine predictive insights, advanced AI, and process redesign.

In this webinar, learn how LeanTaaS leverages continuous mathematical debottlenecking, predictive analytics, and connected workflows to transform inpatient operations. Discover how these tools unlock capacity, reduce cycle times, and optimize staffing. See how accelerating discharges and balancing patient flow across interconnected hospital units can drastically improve patient outcomes and financial performance.

With a proven track record of success across 1,200 hospitals and 190 health systems, LeanTaaS delivers results like a 10% reduction in excess days, a 25% decrease in transfer declines, and a 5% increase in daily discharges. Attendees will gain actionable insights into managing capacity effectively, leveraging technology to predict and resolve bottlenecks, and driving sustainable improvements through change management.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how predictive analytics and AI can transform inpatient capacity and throughput, leading to measurable operational improvements.
  • Explore the role of continuous mathematical debottlenecking in accelerating discharges and optimizing patient flow.
  • Learn from case studies of health systems achieving significant reductions in delays, excess days, and staffing inefficiencies.

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.
