As health systems face growing demand, staffing constraints, and financial pressure, many organizations are discovering that fragmented operations and decentralized decision-making limit their ability to scale efficiently. In this session, Sarasota Memorial and UofL Health share how they built more connected operating models by standardizing workflows, centralizing operational coordination, and leveraging real-time and predictive intelligence to improve inpatient flow and surgical performance.
Sarasota Memorial shares how establishing a centralized logistics and throughput model transformed patient flow across the organization — driving a 30% reduction in ED-to-bed time, a 13-hour decrease in length of stay, a 50% increase in discharges by 1 p.m., and avoiding approximately $120M in capital spend by unlocking more than 80 beds of daily capacity. UofL Health reveals how it standardized OR governance, centralized scheduling, and improved visibility across surgical operations to achieve measurable gains, including a 4% increase in case volume, improved OR utilization, restored operating room capacity, and approximately $1.5M in monthly anesthesia savings. Together, these organizations demonstrate how aligning access, flow, and the OR can create a more efficient, coordinated, and financially sustainable enterprise operating model.
