Inside OHSU's approach to data-driven perioperative staffing


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

Manual staffing processes and limited visibility into staff experience are quietly draining perioperative capacity across health systems.

Oregon Health & Science University faced these same challenges across 53 operating rooms. Leaders struggled with reactive staffing decisions, time-intensive coordination and inconsistent team assignments that made it harder to use staffed rooms effectively.

In this webinar, OHSU perioperative leaders share how they shifted from manual workflows to a data-driven staffing approach that improved utilization, strengthened team consistency and reclaimed more than 25 hours per week previously spent on staffing coordination. 

Hear directly from OHSU leaders about what worked, what required change management and how they measured impact across perioperative services.

Attendees will learn:
 
  • How OHSU reclaimed 25-plus hours per week from manual staffing coordination
  • Why improved visibility into staff experience matters for accurate assignments
  • How predictive analytics reduced last-minute staffing changes
  • What drove a 5% improvement in staffed room utilization and 30% improvement in cross-training opportunities
