Every day, financial burdens are forcing more and more hospitals to close their doors or struggle with challenging capacity and staffing constraints. Turning around healthcare profit margins requires effective and optimized capacity and workforce management. When done right, optimizing your resources — including operating rooms, infusion chairs, inpatient areas, and staff — can increase EBITDA by 5 percentage points. This is the difference between survival and success.

Effective capacity and workforce management requires not just the best AI and automation, but also dedicated change management services to ensure that people — and the bottom line — are getting the most out of the technology. Discover how this magic equation of software and services is already boosting revenue by helping health systems of all sizes perform 30-50 more OR cases annually, earning an extra $10k per inpatient bed annually and earning $20K per Infusion Chair per Year in ROI. See how AI-based scheduling optimization reduces delays by 80% while machine learning accurately forecasts and matches staff to demand, and how automation eliminates 500k hours of repetitive tasks across organizations. It highlights the application of lean principles to healthcare services, focusing on reducing cycle times, improving patient and provider satisfaction and optimizing resource utilization.
