Problem
NewYork-Presbyterian is home to two of the nation’s leading cancer centers – the NCI-designated Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center of NYP/Columbia University Medical Center and the NYP/Weill Cornell Ronald P. Stanton Clinical Cancer Program and the Weill Cornell Medicine Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center.
As a leading cancer center, NYP treats some 7,500 adult and pediatric patients newly diagnosed with cancer each year.
Solution
Leadership at NYP deployed iQueue for Infusion Centers at one of its centers with 49 chairs to create optimized infusion scheduling templates. iQueue for Infusion Centers uses data science and machine learning to create optimized scheduling templates in order to continuously maximize patient flow and chair usage.
