LeanTaaS Unveils iQueue for Surgical Clinics

In an impressive move to revolutionize the surgical landscape, LeanTaaS has officially launched its innovative product, iQueue for Surgical Clinics. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of surgical coordination, introducing the industry's first comprehensive solution that extends from the clinic's entrance to the hospital's operating room (OR). This breakthrough was unveiled during the Transform Hospital Operations Summit, where over 5,000 healthcare professionals witnessed this game-changing announcement.

Addressing Critical Challenges

Every year, surgical clinics are estimated to lose up to 35% of potential surgical cases due to inefficiencies in surgical coordination, issues with prior authorization, and challenges related to patient readiness. These obstacles result in millions of dollars in lost revenue for clinics and hospitals while negatively impacting the patient experience. Moreover, surgical staff often find themselves overwhelmed, managing complex administrative tasks alongside clinical responsibilities. It is paramount to streamline these processes to improve patient care and operational efficiency.

Rami Karjian, Head of Operating Rooms Business at LeanTaaS, emphasized the importance of surgical clinics. He stated, “Surgical clinics are the entry point for many patients to the surgical workflow and represent the financial and operational front door to the OR.” With the introduction of iQueue for Surgical Clinics, health systems can simplify and enhance the workflow right at the care point, addressing inefficiencies that have long plagued surgical case coordination.

Key Features and Benefits

The iQueue for Surgical Clinics integrates seamlessly with existing electronic health records (EHRs) and utilizes AI technology to streamline four critical areas:
1. Intelligent Case-Building: Automates the process of scheduling surgeries, including AI support for coding cases.
2. Real-Time Readiness Tracking: Provides instant visibility into the patient's preparedness for surgery, reducing the likelihood of last-minute cancellations.
3. Proactive Patient Outreach: Engages patients via automated reminders and updates, ensuring they remain informed about their surgical journey.
4. Pipeline Analytics: Offers insights into workflow bottlenecks, allowing clinics to anticipate and rectify issues before they impact schedules.

Early adopters of the iQueue platform have reported significant positive impacts, including a 10% increase in total case growth and recovering up to 72% of previously lost surgeries. Surgeons have also reported an additional $300,000 in revenue per year, alongside reclaiming over 250 uncompensated hours annually. Administrative burdens have decreased by 75%, resulting in fewer coding errors and allowing surgical staff to focus more on patient care.

Transforming Patient Experience

By utilizing built-in intelligence, iQueue for Surgical Clinics identifies missing documents, authorizations, and inpatient-only procedures well in advance, which mitigates denials and ensures a smoother surgical process. This proactive approach can greatly enhance patient experience, as it minimizes stress and confusion surrounding surgery logistics.

As LeanTaaS continues to optimize operations across healthcare facilities, the introduction of iQueue for Surgical Clinics stands to benefit not only patients and healthcare providers but also the financial stability of surgical institutions. Health systems can now achieve streamlined operations, driving smarter business outcomes while enhancing patient access to essential surgical procedures.
