How Erlanger unlocked 220+ additional surgeries per month: A playbook for AI-driven surgical growth
Thursday, June 25th, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT
Like many health systems, Erlanger faced operational challenges that capped surgical growth: 30% of OR block time went unused, non-robotic cases occupied robotic rooms, independent surgeons were taking cases to competitors and scheduling was a manual, cumbersome process.
Traditional scheduling tools and limited EHR capabilities weren't solving these problems. Erlanger needed a partner that could help operationalize a growth strategy, not just deliver another dashboard.
In this webinar, Misti Mattox, MSN, RN, vice president of surgical services at Erlanger, will share the blueprint behind the operational transformation that produced 220 additional cases per month, a 25% increase in robotic volume from engaged surgeons and a 5x return on investment.
