🎙️⚕️ABOUT LEANTAAS
Rising patient volumes traditionally prompted hospitals to build or acquire new capacity, but with razor-thin margins and increasing financial pressures, that approach is no longer feasible. The modern solution is to do more with less by maximizing existing healthcare capacity through powerful AI technology.
At LeanTaaS, they provide capacity management software that addresses the complex operational challenges of supply and demand. Their iQueue solutions utilize Lean principles and AI/ML predictive and prescriptive analytics to forecast future demand based on historical data, recent pattern shifts, and real-time insights, enabling staff and providers to respond quickly and confidently.
