Adding more ORs, beds, units and staff is no longer a practical way to improve performance. With reimbursement constraints, rising demand and ongoing staffing shortages, hospitals and health systems have to get more from the capacity they already have.
A growing number are doing exactly that, by turning operational data into coordinated action across inpatient, infusion and perioperative services.
Consider the results:
- Baptist Health Louisville cut ED boarding hours 48% and shortened operational length of stay by 9.6 hours
- Inova sustained a 149% increase in daily completed infusion volume while operating with five to eight fewer nurses
- The START Center for Cancer Care recouped an estimated $1.8 million in annualized revenue and avoided a $1.4 million expansion
- OHSU reduced surgery cancellations roughly 50% and saved more than 500 staff hours
- UT Medical Center grew surgical case volume 8% without adding a single operating room
This e-book breaks down how each organization uncovered capacity in its existing operations, earned clinical buy-in and built more predictable operations that support growth.
