The time is now: building operational resilience for a changing healthcare landscape
Sweeping policy changes are reshaping reimbursement and funding, putting unprecedented pressure on operating margins. Hospitals can no longer afford inefficiency in how they manage costly assets like operating rooms, staffed beds or infusion chairs. The stakes are high: patient access, financial stability, and community trust all hang in the balance. For healthcare leaders, the mandate is clear – build resilience or risk falling behind.
Forward-thinking health systems are already acting. By leveraging AI-powered capacity management, they are shortening length of stay, unlocking beds, optimizing operating room (OR) blocks, leveling infusion workloads and demonstrating measurable ROI in the face of tighter regulation.
On September 16–17, 2025, healthcare executives will gather virtually for Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit and Transform Infusion Center Operations Virtual Summit, hosted by LeanTaaS in partnership with Becker’s Healthcare. This free, two-day event will bring together more than 7,000 leaders to exchange strategies and real-world case studies on creating sustainable operations.
Driving resilience with intelligent operations
The Transform Virtual Summits will explore practical solutions to today’s most pressing capacity challenges in healthcare. Sessions will highlight how health systems are:
- Reducing emergency department (ED) boarding by treating inpatient flow as an interconnected system
- Unlocking OR capacity through smarter block management and connected surgical workflows
- Using predictive data and automation to streamline discharges, align staffing, and prevent delays
- Balancing infusion workloads to reduce bottlenecks, improve staff satisfaction, and protect patient access
Speakers from Baptist Health Arkansas, University Health Texas, WVU Medicine, Atrium Health, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Providence, Inova Health, MultiCare Health System, OhioHealth, NewYork-Presbyterian, Hartford HealthCare and UCSF Health will share how these strategies are driving results across their organizations.
Two tracks, one vision: resilient operations
Transform Hospital Operations Virtual Summit is organized into two focused days. The first day (September 16) tackles inpatient flow challenges and solutions, with strategies to streamline discharges, reduce length of stay and align staffing with patient demand. The second day (September 17) shifts the spotlight to perioperative operations, featuring proven methods to maximize OR utilization, boost throughput and recover lost surgical volume.
Running concurrently on September 17, Transform Infusion Center Operations Virtual Summit offers a dedicated forum for cancer care leaders. Sessions will showcase how infusion centers are applying AI and advanced analytics to balance patient schedules, ease staff burden and sustain growth.
The time to act is now
Rising labor costs, accelerating demand, and outdated manual processes make it essential to rethink how resources are managed. Data-driven solutions and transformation services provide a proven way to safeguard margins and expand access while reducing administrative strain on staff.
LeanTaaS is at the forefront of this transformation. Its iQueue software suite supports nearly 200 health systems and more than 1,200 hospitals nationwide, using predictive models to reveal hidden capacity, expand access, reduce costs and strengthen resilience.
Healthcare executives ready to stay ahead of these pressures are encouraged to join the Transform Virtual Summits – an exclusive opportunity to learn from peers, discover best practices and shape the future of healthcare operations.
