The struggle is familiar: inefficient scheduling leads to long patient wait times and overworked nurses, a perfect storm of dissatisfaction for healthcare organizations.

The Adult Infusion Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City tackled these common issues with tech — by developing and implementing a scheduling template using historical data and AI modeling.

After partnering with LeanTaaS and leveraging iQueue for Infusion Centers to make the change, they saw:

An 8 percent decrease in average wait times while accommodating a 25 percent increase in same-day add-on appointments
A 36 percent decrease in days over capacity, leading to less overtime and higher nurse satisfaction
