April 7: Resilience and Recovery Through Capacity Constraints, Staff Shortages, and Other Perioperative Challenges

In the past few years, perioperative leaders have faced ever-evolving disruptions (growing case backlogs and short staffing, to name a few) that require rapid pivots in order to adequately manage ORs with little time or insight. Despite the setbacks, the pressure to perform as a hospital’s primary revenue driver by not only maintaining but improving operating performance and productivity remains.

Existing manual processes to manage perioperative operations and schedules have proven not only to be ineffective but to actually intensify the impact of these constraints. Join this webinar to learn how to unlock OR capacity whether you are recovering from a COVID wave or have returned to routine operations. From services that can help you prioritize backlogs or temporarily reconsider your block allocation, to a platform that helps you reclaim and redistribute OR time, we will discuss strategies on how to:

• Align OR capacity to staffing and demand to meet the needs of your current environment, whether its navigating short staffing or limited beds, managing backlogs, or optimizing your normal routine
• Provide visibility into available OR time and a centralized process to request or release time
• Remain productive during turbulent times by leveraging tools that provide access to real-time data to support fluidity
