Banner Health is deploying Qventus’ perioperative technology across the entire organization following the success of an initial pilot. The software integrates with EHRs and uses machine learning to automate operating room scheduling processes and maximize surgical caseloads.
After adopting Qventus’ perioperative solution, Allina Health has seen significant gains in surgical case volume and operating room efficiency in just a few months of using the software. The health system's vice president of surgical services and orthopedics recommended that other health systems adopt automation technology. He said the ROI was clear, but the health system declined to provide actual dollar figures.
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
As hospitals continue to battle healthcare’s workforce shortage and high levels of staff turnover, capacity is a significant pain point. When it comes to technology to help optimize capacity management, hospital leaders want solutions that can automatically identify and prioritize patients who are ready for discharge using real-time data, according to a new report.
Manual processes and inadequate analytics frequently prevent hospitals from achieving OR revenue and utilization goals. By using automation, behavioral science, and comprehensive real-world data, hospitals can unleash the full potential of their OR enterprises and supercharge perioperative growth.
Health systems are seeing increased operational efficiency after applying machine learning analytics to their operating room block scheduling. Given the multitude of challenges health systems face — from increased labor costs to material shortages to reimbursement woes — some health system digital executives say it’s critical that hospitals incorporate machine learning into their block schedules sooner rather than later.
