Description
  • OU Health partnered with LeanTaaS to deploy a comprehensive perioperative operating system — not another scheduling tool. Beginning Discovery in early 2025 and launching July 8, 2025, OU Health implemented five interconnected modules functioning as a unified capacity optimization engine: Surgeon Access, Real-Time View, Staff Planner, Advanced Reporting, and Block Management.
  • This integrated platform approach unlocked hidden capacity and transformed perioperative operations without capital investment. Over 10 months, OU Health achieved a 6.6% increase in case volume, 131 approved open time requests, 4.6x ROI, and 77% active scheduler adoption across surgical departments — demonstrating a fundamental shift from manual workflows to AI-powered intelligence that delivered real financial impact
  • OU Health will share their journey to capacity optimization transformation, not a scheduling project, demonstrating how strategic platform thinking delivers exponentially more value than point solutions and how world-class change management drives sustainable adoption.
