Operating rooms drive up to 70% of a hospital's revenue — and up to 40% of its expenses. The potential to increase efficiency and drive further revenue is great, but too often efforts fail because they only address isolated problems. Optimizing the OR requires a holistic approach that includes consistent and structural block management changes, proactive case coordination, and streamlined staff planning.

This whitepaper explores how four health systems overcame OR inefficiencies through  AI-powered software, change management, and tailored strategies that go beyond quick fixes. Each case study showcases specific approaches and technologies that health systems used to optimize workflows and staffing, addressing long-term structural needs and capturing new revenue.
