Turbocharge the OR: How to use AI & automation to boost utilization and reenergize staff

Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT 

 
Why is operating room scheduling still reliant on phone calls and faxes? The process hasn't changed in decades — and it's holding hospitals back. Now, leading health systems are using artificial intelligence to automate their end-to-end OR scheduling processes.

Join healthcare leaders in this webinar to learn how UAMS Health and Saint Luke's Health System have rapidly transformed their OR scheduling processes with AI-based automation software.

Despite staffing challenges, they have reduced workload by providing their teams with these innovative tools while simultaneously increasing utilization and surgical case volumes.

Learn how you can:
 
  • Add two-plus cases per OR per month
  • Unlock 7 percent more cases using existing resources
  • Automate growth of strategic service lines and procedures
  • Release unused blocks 30-plus days in advance
  • Improve OR staffing predictability
