Inside OHSU's data-driven approach to staffing

Wednesday, March 18th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT

Academic medical centers face intense perioperative staffing demands, and manual coordination can make it even harder to respond efficiently across large, complex surgical operations.

Oregon Health & Science University encountered that challenge across 53 operating rooms, where leaders were managing reactive adjustments, time-intensive coordination and inconsistent team assignments. In this webinar, OHSU leaders discuss how they moved toward a more predictive, data-informed staffing model designed to improve visibility and support stronger operational performance.

The session explores how the team used insight into clinician experience and predictive analytics to reduce coordination burden, improve assignment consistency and create more cross-training opportunities.

Attendees will learn:

How OHSU reclaimed 25-plus hours per week from manual staffing coordination
How visibility into staff experience supported more informed assignments
How predictive analytics helped reduce last-minute staffing changes
What contributed to a 5% increase in staffed room utilization and a 30% improvement in cross-training opportunities
