As health systems face unrelenting pressure from workforce shortages, tightening financial margins, and growing patient demand, one thing is clear: a new operating model is needed. On April 29, LeanTaaS will host “Transform Hospital Operations Summit” at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, a seven-session sub-event at Becker’s 15th Annual Meeting. This exclusive gathering will bring together executive leaders and clinical innovators to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing hospital and infusion center capacity and staffing strategies, ushering the industry into the future of healthcare operations.
Transform couldn’t come at a more critical time. A recent survey by Becker’s Healthcare and LeanTaaS confirmed that, amid growing financial and operational pressures, health systems are placing greater emphasis on capacity optimization. 87% of survey respondents reported that capacity optimization is a strategic focus, with 61% categorizing it as an “extremely high priority.” With the theme, “The AI Imperative: Optimizing Hospital Capacity and Staffing for Sustainable Growth and Resilience,” this spring’s event will spotlight how nearly 200 leading health systems are already already leveraging AI to unlock capacity, reduce administrative burdens on staff, improve access for patients, and build more resilient operations.
Transform offers attendees a mix of thought leadership sessions and real-world case studies. The event will kick off with an executive panel titled “Rewriting the Rules: How System Leaders are Transforming Operations One Use Case at a Time,” featuring executives from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Northwestern Medicine, and Cedars-Sinai. This will be followed by a keynote presentation led by LeanTaaS founder and CEO, Mohan Giridharadas, digging into the sophisticated math behind operational excellence.
Next, case study presentations will reveal the real-world impacts of AI-powered transformation within inpatient units, infusion centers, and perioperative spaces, featuring speakers from Baptist Health Arkansas, Northwestern Medicine, and RUSH University Medical Center. The event will end with a thought leadership panel titled “Breaking the Bottleneck: How AI is Revolutionizing Capacity Management in Healthcare,” followed by an invite-only roundtable discussion for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and physicians to discuss the potential of AI in optimizing the perioperative surgical home model.
The event underscores a growing reality in healthcare: AI is no longer a futuristic ideal—it’s an operational imperative.
