November 14, 2024 Webinar: Six Metrics a Top Hospital Addressed to Attract New OR Cases

Learning objectives:

• Understand why six metrics had an outsized impact on OR capacity
• Identify practical analytic methods to track these six key indicators
• Summarize how a comprehensive OR scheduling policy and governance structure can address the six key metrics at an institutional and individual level

In this encore presentation of LiveData’s seminar at the OR Manager Conference, LiveData Clinical Support Specialist Jeffrey Oliver, Lt. Col, Ret., CCNS, CNOR, will explain how a medical center in the southeastern US increased their OR throughput after widespread pandemic slowdowns.

By deploying analytics-driven insights, the hospital found where workflow updates would most impact OR capacity. While the medical center was able to increase capacity to schedule more patients and eliminate wait times, this led to a new challenge: with over a dozen hospitals and ASCs nearby, local practices held out for visible scheduling improvements before filling the hospital’s newly-created capacity.

This condensed session will explain in detail how focusing on six metrics was the most effective way for the hospital to attract new cases, resulting in a 6% growth in case volume.
