Problem

Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center had to desire to increase capacity but were unable to do so because midday peaks were already leading to their nurses frequently missing lunches. They were also unable to balance capacity between oncology and non-oncology infusions.

Solution

Prior to implementation, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center had a desire and need to increase capacity with the inability to do so on their own. With the implementation of iQueue for Infusion Centers, they were able to unlock additional capacity utilizing the same number of chairs. Scheduling leaders are able to strategically steer add-ons to level-load the day and leadership analyze data in the tools to see how the month will unfold in order to balance capacity.
