Solving Cath Lab Constraints: Using Process Modeling to Unlock Capacity in HealthcareMay 20, 2026 •3:00 PM UTC
Expanding clinical services is rarely as simple as adding capacity. In cardiovascular care, even one change can affect patient prep, recovery flow, room turnover, scheduling, and staff coordination across the system.
Join us for a webinar featuring Memorial Health System’s use of process modeling to support the expansion of cardiovascular services. Faced with limited holding room capacity for patient preparation and recovery, the team used discrete event simulation to better understand how the full cath lab ecosystem would perform under different operational conditions.
This session will show how simulation can help healthcare teams test multiple operational scenarios, including staggered scheduling approaches and workflow adjustments, without disrupting real-world operations.
What You’ll Learn
- How Memorial Health System evaluated the addition of a mobile cath lab before implementation
- How discrete event simulation helped test scheduling and workflow scenarios in a risk-free environment
- How the team identified bottlenecks and capacity limitations proactively
- How modeling supported decisions that balanced efficiency with staffing while improving patient experience by minimizing wait times and congestion
- How to engage physicians through data-driven scenario testing
