December 10, 2024 Webinar: Finding the Right Fit: How Northwest Specialty Hospital Tailored Their Block Optimization Solution to Perfection

Now more than ever, it’s crucial for health systems to maximize utilization of their highest-value assets. Shrinking margins and staff scarcity have changed the way hospitals and ASCs look at their Operating Room block allocation. Wasted block time can threaten the financial viability of a department, and turning around an inefficient OR requires a purposeful, data-driven approach.

Leaders at Northwest Specialty Hospital identified the need for a Block Optimization solution, but their first partnership ended with disappointment and frustration. Rather than give up on the idea, they decided to try a new approach and were able to achieve their goals through meaningful collaboration.

In this webinar, we’ll speak to JJ Turbin, Executive Director of Finance, about what he learned from the experience and how he persevered to find a solution that fit Northwest’s needs.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the most impactful effects of predicting and tracking surgical block utilization
• Discuss the value of collaboration when adopting a block optimization solution
• Build an evaluation framework to measure success when implementing a new block management process
