WakeMed's 10%+ gain in surgical capacity — without adding new ORs


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

Health systems don't have the luxury of building their way out of capacity constraints. WakeMed didn't — and still boosted prime-time surgical access and throughput by double digits.

In this session, WakeMed's Chief Medical Officer Charles Harr, MD, shares how his team partnered across specialties and departments to drive better access and throughput, all within their existing footprint. Their approach combined physician and anesthesia leadership, EHR-integrated tech and transformation services, driving:

11% increase in prime-time OR case minutes
21% increase in prime-time procedural case minutes
13.5% year-over-year increase in proactively released block time

Join the conversation to learn:
 
  • How WakeMed secured cross-specialty buy-in to scale improvements
  • What made the biggest operational difference and where to start
  • Strategies to turn underused procedural areas into value drivers
