Hospitals are facing the same equation from every direction — rising expenses, climbing patient demand and a shrinking workforce. The traditional response of adding beds, staff or new towers is no longer economically feasible for most systems. This whitepaper, drawing from executive sessions at the Transform Hospital Operations Summit at Becker’s 16th Annual Meeting, explores how an AI-enabled “central nervous system” for hospital operations is helping leaders unlock capacity that already exists within their walls. Inside, San Antonio-based University Health details a 46.1% reduction in average ED boarding time and Fort Myers, Fla.-based Lee Health shares how it achieved an 8.8x return on investment in OR access.
Essential reading for COOs, CMOs and operations executives looking to expand capacity without expanding the building.
