Has there been a more challenging year for managing OR schedules? The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on OR operations, as many facilities eschewed elective surgeries for months. As facilities move forward, continuing to clear surgery backlogs and maximize operating rooms is key.
The upcoming Better Healthcare Through Math Virtual Conference, co-sponsored by LeanTaaS and Becker’s, is well-timed for OR managers and perioperative leadership to catch up on best practices around the use of AI and predictive analytics to continue building OR volumes, optimizing schedules and improving ROI overall. On June 29-30, this free online summit will bring together leaders, health system executives, and other industry SMEs to discuss optimizing OR capacity management now and in the future.
A special OR-focused track allows for a deep dive into solutions that solve these unique challenges, including these OR-specific sessions.
