“iQueue helped the schedulers so much that the charge nurses thought the phones were broken!”
"Engaging LeanTaaS was an important step in improving OR utilization throughout Baptist Health hospitals. We received real, worthwhile results from our investment in LeanTaaS and alignment of people and processes. Improving our OR operations translates to surgical growth, engaged providers, and improved patient care, all of which are helping us achieve our organizational goals."
“It’s quite miraculous to me that we had this increase in patient volume at a time when we were having to go through all of the COVID restrictions.”
"We were very pleased with how fast we were able to implement iQueue for Infusion Centers and see a difference. We see lots of happier patients because things are happening on-time."
"Since launching i-Queue in June 2020, we have been able to add additional appointment slots equaling increased revenue. Our waiting rooms have only a sprinkling of patients compared to pre-iQueue. We have seen a decrease in drug and infusion wait times. Nurses are now able to care for more patients in the same amount of time without feeling slammed during the historical “rush hour.” They are even able to step away for a midday lunch break which was hard to do prior to iQueue. The icing on the cake are the data reports that are available on a daily basis or on-demand."
"Before the pandemic, we knew we had to solve our problem of surgical case backlog. Then COVID-19 hit and suddenly we had to postpone 8,000 surgical cases. We took this opportunity to invest in technology, partnering with LeanTaaS to help us improve our OR capacity and provide surgeons with a tool that made OR time simple to view, access, and share. [iQueue] proved vital in navigating the aftermath of the return of surgical cases."
“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.”
"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.”
"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.”
“If you don’t know the secret to increasing your surgical volume, I’ll let you in on it – it’s having a relationship with your provider office surgery schedulers, and making their lives easier. With iQueue, they bring their cases to my hospital because they know time is available, they can request it online, and don’t have to make any phone calls.”
"We really needed to create access to the OR. Exchange went above and beyond our prior manual process, it gave transparency to open OR time, it eliminated a lot of the back and forth phone calls and it gave us flexibility to create open time that wasn’t previously available. When we had new surgeons join, we were able to get them time. Collect was telling us the same story, but in a way that was more surgeon-focused. It helped us directionally decide what worked best for the OR schedule."
“iQueue is an indispensable tool, allowing me to monitor surgeries across our busy practice. Its smart design simplifies our workflows and makes surgeons’ lives easier.”
"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.”
"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."
