The Formula for Operational Excellence: Unlocking Surgical Capacity

Surgical departments face growing pressure to expand access, reduce delays, and manage increasingly complex workflows—all while optimizing staff and financial resources. Yet many hospitals still operate with disconnected systems and reactive processes, leading to lost cases, inefficient block utilization, and day-of-surgery chaos.

In this session, Rami Karjian, Head of the OR Business at LeanTaaS, will unveil how leading health systems are using AI and predictive intelligence to transform the perioperative experience—by connecting the full surgical ecosystem, from clinic to OR. Attendees will learn how hospitals are:

• Unlocking capacity by predicting unused block time weeks in advance and reallocating it to high-value demand
• Enhancing staffing efficiency by forecasting case volume and automating assignments across clinical teams
• Recovering lost surgical cases by optimizing clinic workflows, improving patient readiness, and reducing preventable coding errors

With over 550 hospitals and 12,000 surgeons using iQueue for Operating Rooms, the impact is clear—4% increases in prime time utilization, $250K+ additional revenue per surgeon, and up to 10% reductions in coding errors.
Join this session to explore a data-driven, system-wide framework for surgical excellence that eliminates operational blind spots and ensures every OR runs at its full potential.
