Cornerstones of a Better System: 7 Steps to Improve OR Financial and Operational Performance

Abstract/Description:

One of the biggest challenges OR managers and VPs of surgery face is efficient use of OR time. They struggle to balance revenue and utilization targets with surgeon and staff preferences against a backdrop of often unpredictable supply and demand. The way in which blocks of OR time are allocated, taken away, and released into open time leaves a great deal of room for optimization.

In this eBook, you’ll learn from real examples from SUNY Upstate Medical University, Novant Health, and Dignity health how to:

• Build the foundational elements of a better scheduling system.
• Evaluate block usage time in a more meaningful way.
• Utilize transparent, real-time data in scheduling and reports to stakeholders.
• Achieve a $500k per OR per year improvement in revenue.
