Case Study: Texas Healthcare System achieves 28% relative increase in prime time utilization with LeanTaaS iQueue for Operating Rooms

Texas Healthcare System Sees 28% Relative Increase in Prime Time Utilization

Texas Healthcare System, a multi-hospital health system in Texas, faced inconsistent scheduling analytics, poor transparency across sites, and limited surgeon and stakeholder buy-in that prevented leaders from identifying and repurposing unused OR time. Seeking a partner with domain expertise and a technology-enabled platform, they engaged LeanTaaS and its iQueue for Operating Rooms to address these perioperative challenges.

LeanTaaS deployed its cloud-based iQueue for Operating Rooms to provide real-time transparency, actionable analytics, mobile/desktop access, and ML-enabled block release reminders, while working alongside perioperative leaders to improve processes. The solution helped transform OR and block management—reducing turnover, increasing access and revenue—and produced measurable gains: a 34% relative increase in case volume, a 28% relative increase in prime-time utilization, 50% of released OR time utilized, and 250+ hours of block time released.
