LeanTaaS Adds Schedule Shifter to Industry-Leading Infusion Scheduling Solution
New Tool Helps Staff Adjust Future Days’ Scheduling to Avoid Patient Delays.
- (1888PressRelease) August 01, 2018 - SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Infusion scheduling has always been a difficult task for cancer centers. With operational constraints, varying nurse schedules and very sick patients, it is challenging to construct a flawless schedule that fits the needs of a center, its staff and their patients. Today, LeanTaaS, a healthcare analytics company, announced the addition of Schedule Shifter, a new tool within its iQueue for Infusion Centers, to help center staff adjust future days’ schedules to avoid exceeding capacity.
iQueue for Infusion Centers is a lightweight, cloud-based platform that helps flatten infusion chair utilization throughout the day to increase patient access, decrease wait times, improve nurse satisfaction, and reduce infusion delivery costs. The solution has proven to:
• Decrease wait times by as much as 50 percent at peak to significantly increase patient satisfaction.
• Provide access to as many as 20 percent more patients without adding facilities, staff or operating hours.
• Reduce overtime hours by as much as 50 percent.
• Increase staff satisfaction by leveling nurse and staff workload.
• Delay the need for investment in additional chairs and new infrastructure.
• Increase per chair annual revenue by as much as $20,000.
The solution continuously monitors operational performance and provides a scheduling template that keeps centers operating optimally. The HIPAA-compliant SaaS platform coexists with any electronic health record (EHR) system, can be deployed in days, and integrates seamlessly with existing scheduling and operational workflows.
“When an infusion center is booked over capacity, whether due to no vacant chairs or not enough staff to manage the demand, Schedule Shifter can be used to generate suggestions as to how to reallocate patients to improve the flow of the schedule,” said Mohan Giridharadas, LeanTaaS CEO.
LeanTaaS has developed a proprietary algorithm that pushes scheduling suggestions which level-load the patient demand for the selected day. It considers staffing levels, historical appointment data, booking patterns, and the center’s constraints and then suggests rearranging appointments to improve the overall schedule as well as provides a list of times when it would be best to move those appointments for optimum benefit. However, since no personal health information is used, infusion center staff have the final say in choosing which patients are the best candidates to have their appointment times adjusted.

Schedule Shifter is available immediately as part of iQueue for Infusion Centers.
