Most health systems do not need more operating rooms — they need smarter ways to orchestrate the ones they have. MultiCare Health System is proving what’s possible when surgical capacity, staffing and scheduling are aligned with precision.
Facing constrained capacity and growing demand across facilities, MultiCare used AI-powered orchestrations and data-driven scheduling to boost staffed room utilization by 16% and perform 1,600 additional surgical cases, without expanding footprint or staff.
Join Chris Hunt, BSN, RN, Associate VP of Perioperative Services, and Wesley Hart, MD, anesthesiologist at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital, for a behind-the-scenes look at how their team built a coordinated, scalable surgical ecosystem — and the strategies you can adapt.
What you'll learn:
- How to increase surgical volume through smarter orchestration, not expansion
- Tactics for coordinating OR schedules across sites using AI-driven insights
- Ways system and frontline leaders can partner to improve readiness and outcomes
