Summary

Healthcare systems are under growing pressure from rising demand, staffing shortages, and shrinking reimbursements, straining operations and worsening hospital economics. Traditional tools, manual processes, and dashboards fail to address the complexities of modern perioperative management. This webinar introduces a holistic approach that integrates workflows, room utilization, and staffing, with a focus on time optimization (the reduction of service cycle time) to uncover inefficiencies and drive improvements in cost, quality, and staff satisfaction.

Mohan Giridharadas, founder and CEO of LeanTaaS, and Rami Karjian, Head of the OR Business, share how AI-driven tools powered by deep math and predictive analytics deliver real-time, predictive, and prescriptive insights to proactively solve bottlenecks and optimize operations. Discover how LeanTaaS is revolutionizing perioperative management with innovative, sustainable solutions that empower smarter decision-making and drive meaningful results across the perioperative ecosystem.

Learning objectives:

  • Explore why traditional approaches to managing ORs are insufficient for addressing the complexities of modern perioperative management.
  • Learn how focusing on reducing service cycle times can uncover inefficiencies and drive simultaneous improvements in cost, quality, and staff satisfaction.
  • Gain insights into integrating workflows, room utilization, and staffing to avoid inefficiencies and unintended trade-offs.
  • Understand how predictive analytics and actionable insights can empower proactive decision-making and operational success.

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.
