Perioperative AI that closes capacity gaps and protects margins


This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.

Operating rooms power hospital margins, yet preventable cancellations and administrative bottlenecks create costly idle time. In this Becker's Perioperative Summit session, three leaders discuss how AI-driven automation is improving readiness, OR utilization and patient experience.

Today's perioperative teams face manual prior authorizations, fragmented scheduling and inconsistent patient outreach. These breakdowns lead to late cancellations, no-shows and empty block time. Clinicians spend hours on clerical tasks while coordinators scramble to backfill cases. The result is margin erosion and workforce burnout.

Leaders in this session detail a practical path forward. 

Learnings include:
 
  • How to achieve 40%+ fewer same-day cancellations and recover 2-5% utilization with proactive readiness workflows
  • How to use predictive signals to backfill open time and improve case flow by 18%.
  • How to automate prior auth, scheduling and patient messaging to reduce staff burden.
