Newton, Mass. (PRWEB) March 21, 2017 -- Hospital IQ, the leading provider of a cloud-based operations planning and management platform that helps hospitals measurably and profitably reduce operational cost, increase revenue and improve patient access and quality, today announced the company has added experienced healthcare veterans to its leadership team.

“The healthcare industry continues to face unrelenting pressure to improve margins in order to support its mission. When it comes to day-to-day operations in most hospitals, healthcare falls behind every other industry in their use of data and technology to drive operational efficiency, relying on spreadsheets and individual subject matter experts,” said Rich Krueger, CEO, Hospital IQ. “This model is no longer sustainable, and presents both a challenge and opportunity. Hospital IQ helps hospitals become data-driven environments, where business intelligence, predictive analytics and simulation-based modeling drive operational performance improvements that not only has an impact on their financial stability but more important the level of patient access to quality and timely care. We are investing in the right people who understand the industry’s unique problems and how to solve them.”
