Using Artificial Intelligence to Optimize Hospital Resource Management

With rising patient volumes and staffing shortages, hospitals must find ways to optimize asset management to keep up. Unfortunately, the math and organizational strategies behind such efforts are complex. In a half-day session tomorrow at Becker’s Annual Meeting, the healthcare analytics company LeanTaaS will showcase how medical centers successfully used data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize their operations. The session will be available online next week.

According to Beckers Hospital Review, “Like other perioperative leaders, those at Rush University Medical Center were challenged to improve accessibility and efficient use of operating room time. To address underlying issues preventing successful operating room scheduling and utilization, they needed to foster a standardized approach to key operational decision-making with a visible and transparent “single source of truth” of data. In their process of adopting a culture of data transparency and metric standardization, Rush implemented analytical scheduling software and reaped the benefits of transparent data, defensible metrics, powerful visualizations, and easy-to-use analytics tools built into workflows.”
