LeanTaaS, a company specialising in AI-powered, cloud-based capacity management solutions, has launched the surgical coordination platform, iQueue for Surgical Clinics, designed to streamline operations from the clinic to the operating room (OR).
This innovation aims to transform the initial stages of the surgical journey.

The healthcare sector can lose up to 35% of potential cases in surgical clinics due to coordination breakdowns, prior authorisation issues, and patient readiness challenges.
These inefficiencies not only cost millions in lost revenue for clinics, hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centres (ASCs) but also contribute to a deteriorating patient experience and staff burnout.
Surgical staff are often overwhelmed with administrative tasks, which can lead to high-margin surgeries being diverted to competing facilities.
iQueue for Surgical Clinics integrates with iQueue for Operating Rooms, marking the creation of the healthcare industry’s first end-to-end surgical coordination platform.

By GlobalDataIt is designed to manage a patient’s entire surgical journey while balancing supply with demand.
It features four AI-powered modules: intelligent case building, real-time readiness tracking, proactive patient outreach, and pipeline analytics.
These modules operate within a single electronic health record (EHR)-embedded workflow to identify potential bottlenecks early. They also offer immediate visibility and help to automate processes.
The platform’s built-in intelligence is capable of flagging missing consents, authorisations, and inpatient-only procedures well in advance, thereby lessening the likelihood of last-minute denials, write-offs, and cancellations.
Additional engagement tools include automated SMS texts and emails to providers.
LeanTaaS Operating Rooms Business head Rami Karjian said: “With iQueue for Surgical Clinics, health systems can now simplify the end-to-end workflow at the point of care.
“By eliminating the ‘black-box’ inefficiencies that plague case coordination, iQueue for Surgical Clinics drives better patient access, more surgeries, and smarter operations, benefiting patients, surgeons, and the bottom line.”
In a strategic move earlier in April 2023, LeanTaaS partnered with Siemens Healthineers to help health systems in the US achieve and sustain peak performance.
