Managing inpatient capacity is one of the
most critical challenges for health systems. It
requires a daily balancing act of coordinating
bed availability, patient throughput, and
staffing needs in unison to ensure optimal
patient care and collaboration across care
teams to ensure timely discharges and make
room for new patient admissions.

What is Executive Presence?
Executive presence is a crucial aspect of career advancement, as it reflects a leader's ability to communicate effectively, inspire confidence, and project a professional image. Having a strong executive presence can make all the difference in landing a high-level position, forging important connections, and inspiring others to follow your lead.
What is a Career Action Plan?
A career action plan is a roadmap for advancing your career. The most important part of your
plan should be to keep track of your professional accomplishments. This record of your work success is essential for many reasons including your performance reviews, asking for a raise, updating your resume, speaking about the work you do, and for personal validation. Consider it accumulating key data that you can deploy when you encounter an unfavorable review, when you ask for a raise, or when you are looking for a new job. It is easy to let your accomplishments get lost in the day-to-day grind. Most people check things off their to-do list and then move on to the next item. Months can go by like this making it feel like nothing important has been accomplished. If instead, you actively keep track of your successes, you will see that you have achieved more than you thought.
OR Administrators struggle with efficient use of OR time. They are challenged with balancing revenue and utilization targets with surgeon and staff preferences against a backdrop of often unpredictable supply and demand. The way in which blocks of OR time are allocated, taken away, and released into open time leaves a great deal of room for optimization. iQueue creates a credible, fair and transparent system for managing block and open time while maximizing staff, equipment and capital utilization.
