Summary

Surgical services are among the most complex and financially significant areas of hospital operations. Departments must balance access, case growth, and resource constraints—yet many still rely on disconnected systems and reactive processes that create inefficiencies, lost cases, and day-of-surgery disruptions.

LeanTaaS Co-Founder and CEO Mohan Giridharadas will open the session with a high-level look at how health systems are embracing intelligent operations—using AI, predictive analytics, and real-time data to unlock enterprise-wide capacity.

Building on this foundation, Rami Karjian, Head of the OR Business at LeanTaaS, will take a deeper dive into how leading hospitals are transforming perioperative operations by managing the surgical ecosystem as a single, coordinated system. He will show how uniting clinic workflows, scheduling, staffing, and intraoperative operations into one intelligent model gives leaders the visibility and control needed to drive sustained growth and efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how to unlock OR capacity by predicting unused block time and reallocating it to high-value demand.
  • Understand how forecasting case volume and automating assignments improves staff efficiency and resource alignment.
  • Explore strategies to recover lost cases by optimizing clinic workflows, strengthening patient readiness, and reducing coding errors.
  • See how hospitals are achieving measurable financial and operational impact through predictive, systemwide orchestration.

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.
