"Our average daily census is now in the mid 800s and we have not gone on diversion or refused transfers. Every surgery, every procedure, admission and direct admit is accommodated. We do not back up the OR, or the Cath lab. This is enabled by the tools we have from LeanTaaS because we can see where the potential roadblocks are in advance and act.”
“It will allow for very immediate – almost ‘live’ – access to usage data related to my block time in the OR and will let me see if I am effective in using the allotted time.”
"Hospital executives need access to historical and real-time data to inform a proactive approach to patient throughput. Operational leaders need a good understanding of patient demand and organizational bed capacity by level-of-care and specialty service. Frontline clinical teams need tools that provide situational awareness and drive standard work to decrease the cognitive load and chaos they navigate day-to-day. iQueue for Inpatient Flow checks all of these boxes. It has been an instrumental tool to facilitate smooth patient flow and hardwire daily operations across UCHealth."

"Our utilization curve shows we were level loading after [implementing iQueue]. We were able to unlock the capacity to help deal with unexpected delays and add-ons. Our nursing team felt there was the ability to rest and plan out their days and take a lunch break. It was a huge satisfier for employees and patients."
“Our infusion department experienced improvements in patient workflow with the initial implementation of our scheduling template. We were able to slow down midday volume peaks & uneven volume surges throughout the day. As a result, the steady flow of patient arrivals throughout the day has provided more opportunities to cultivate the nurse/patient relationship.”
“The OR schedulers were needing to take time off due to lack of work. The case numbers did not decrease, but our efficiencies became so streamlined with the system that the cases were being booked in a more timely way.”
"We’ve seen great success using the iQueue product to enable our operations and process improvement teams to drive visibility and action across the health system."
"The [iQueue] platform itself has been tremendously valuable, but it’s really linked up with the work that’s been done by the team, together with the support of LeanTaaS. [iQueue will] allow us to manage our staff and volume in our existing sites, but then across the different centers. Imagine being able to move patients from one location in Maryland to another, because it’s convenient for them and you have capacity there."
"LeanTaaS has provided us with the tools and strategies to create daily patient flow efficiencies, resulting in measurable and sustainable improvements. As a result, we have been able to streamline discharges and create capacity to care for more patients.”
"The real-time transparency into daily staffing needs and resources that LeanTaaS provides has enabled us to become more nimble. We now send staff to where patients are and move patients less to ensure the best care experience for each patient."
"iQueue for Operating Rooms takes OR block scheduling into the 21st century. It leverages OR case data and applies machine learning to ensure the best utility of OR time."
"Before we implemented iQueue for Infusion Centers, our nurses were burnt out. They rarely had time for breaks – let alone lunch – and were concerned about patient safety in the daily chaos. Now, nurses not only get their well-deserved breaks, but feel more comfortable and confident in an environment that lacks the ‘feast or famine’ conditions to which they had become accustomed."
"It is such a powerful capability since it connects the dots between the data, the insight and sophisticated algorithms to provide actionable guidance to the front line."
"As the healthcare environment continues to rapidly evolve, we must pivot to better meet the needs and expectations of those we serve as well as our own caregivers and healthcare providers. Data transparency and proactive data-driven decision making needs to be at the forefront of everything we do. LeanTaaS provides the advanced digital solutions and services that are an integral part of the everyday experience of those we serve.”
