This #BreastCancerAwareness Month, we see and support those battling breast cancer, and we honor the dedication of the healthcare workers treating them. 💗 Early detection saves lives — know the signs, schedule screenings, and spread awareness with others.

Effective block management is essential to successful OR workflows — and the bottom line. However, this process is incredibly complex and often inefficient — blocks that are no longer needed are often released late or not at all, and when scheduled procedures don't take the full time allotted, the OR sits empty, leaving money on the table, patients without treatment, and surgeons frustrated. The solution for OR inefficiencies? AI-powered technology like iQueue for Operating Rooms. After deploying iQueue for Operating Rooms, 86 health system customers across 4,500+ ORs on average saw: ✔️ 10% increase in block utilization ✔️ 11% increase in staffed room utilization ✔️ 7% decrease in entire unused blocks ✔️ 6% increase in case volume A recent Becker's Healthcare article shares how health systems, including Providence, are already leveraging these solutions to boost OR efficiency, improve overall asset utilization, and drive big financial wins.

UCHealth is transforming care coordination and scheduling between hospitals and anesthesia teams through AI technology and standardized workflows — leading to 78% use of staffed rooms and a 40% fill rate for openings, among other achievements. Join Becker's Healthcare and UCHealth on Oct. 15 at 1pm CT to hear from Associate Chief Medical Officer Perioperative Services, Nathaen Weitzel, MD, on how the health system is using data to streamline operating room scheduling. Key insights will include: 🔹 How systems can use data to improve surgery scheduling 🔹 How better scheduling, forecasting, and coordination boost operational efficiency 🔹 Essential elements for success Register now to save your spot! https://bit.ly/3XMLSgD

Infusion centers need to maximize the utilization of their finite resources to optimize patient access to treatment. Unfortunately, chair capacity and nurse workloads often limit access to care due to poor resource allocation. In a recent Becker's Healthcare webinar with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Manager of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology & Outpatient Infusion, Children's Hospital Outpatient Center, Ashley Frost, MSN, RN, CPN, shared how iQueue for Infusion Centers improved patient flow and nurse satisfaction. Looking to the infusion center's unique challenges, implementing iQueue led to: 🔹 An 85% reduction in the number of appointments scheduled 10+ weeks in advance, unlocking capacity and reducing scheduler workload 🔹 A shift of short-duration appointments (of 1 to 3 hours) to the afternoon, freeing long-chair capacity during peak and mid-day hours 🔹 Real-time staffing assignments based on nurses' current workloads 🔎 Check out more key highlights in the article to learn how the facility optimized resource allocation and eliminated operational challenges: https://bit.ly/3zB2xM1

The key to achieving full OR utilization lies in access to accurate, timely, and transparent data across the system. In our on-demand webinar, Baylor Scott & White Health's Director of Surgical Services, Ashley Larsen, MSN, BSN, RN, CNOR, and Alex Williams, Account Manager at LeanTaaS, discuss how AI-powered iQueue for Operating Rooms provided a "single source of truth" for credible OR utilization data and standardized metrics. 🔎 Watch now to learn how to improve your OR efficiency and drive better outcomes! https://bit.ly/3BiyDfZ
