Inpatient bed shortages are driving fluctuations in surgical case volume. At the same time, hospitals are experiencing critical staffing shortages in surgical services. These circumstances are driving up costs and making it difficult to staff operating rooms.

During this session, discover how Jacksonville, Fla.-based Baptist Health and Portland-based Oregon Health and Sciences University are working to retain staff and improve OR efficiency with technology and standardization. Learning highlights include: 
  • How Baptist Health increased primetime OR utilization by nearly 40 percent amid the pandemic.
  • How Oregon Health and Science University is using technology to mitigate the adverse effects of staff shortages and resource constraints.
