Effective surgery block management with data-driven insights

Monday, September 19th, 2022 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Efficient use of operating room time remains a big challenge for perioperative leaders because block management is still a largely manual, time-consuming process based on retrospective data. That's why hospitals are shifting their approach and leveraging proactive data-driven insights to improve OR utilization.

Join LeanTaaS experts for this discussion to learn how data-driven insights are helping hospital leaders transform surgery block management. They'll cover how hospitals saw an 11 percent increase in block utilization, a 57 percent decrease in abandoned blocks (blocks that go unused with little time left to repurpose), and a 16 percent increase in prime time utilization.

Key learning points:
 
  • Define the characteristics of an effective block management system
  • How utilizing data-driven insights yields optimal block allocation, improvements in OR utilization and measurable financial outcomes
  • Discover how predictive and prescriptive analytics help hospital leaders and block committee members determine which physician needs how much time and when
