ED boarding pressures are challenging hospitals nationwide, and at Baptist Health Arkansas, those pressures created a clear opportunity to rethink how patient flow could work. In this new Healthtech Analytics (TechTarget News) story by Elizabeth Stricker, BSN, RN, Cody Walker, President of Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock, shares how his team partnered with LeanTaaS to bring data-driven transparency and proactive decision-making to their operations. With "Operation Raptor," the hospital gained the equivalent capacity of a 30-bed unit without building a single new room, cutting diversions by 75%, reducing inpatient length of stay by 34%, and processing discharges 40% faster. In the article, LeanTaaS' Head of Inpatient Flow, Jason Harber, explains how forecasting patient movement in 30-minute increments empowers teams to act proactively instead of reactively.

As patient volumes rose and wait times grew, the infusion team at Inova Schar Cancer knew they needed a new approach. Not by adding chairs or space, but by transforming how existing capacity was used. In this Becker's Healthcare article, Laura Matthews, MBA, MPH, FACHE, Vice President & Administrator, Inova Schar Cancer, and Paula Graling, DNP, RN, CNOR, NEA-BC, FAAN, Vice President of Nursing, Inova Schar Cancer at Inova Health, share how they redesigned infusion operations to expand access, reduce delays, and create a smoother experience for patients and staff.
