About the Event
The surgical enterprise is under mounting pressure: case volumes are rebounding unevenly, cancellations and throughput bottlenecks are eroding margins, surgeon alignment is more complex than ever, and technology investments are facing heightened scrutiny from the C-suite. For health systems to remain competitive, perioperative leaders must drive measurable performance improvement — not just incremental change.
This virtual event brings together health system executives, perioperative leaders, surgical directors, and physician leaders for a focused conversation on optimizing performance across the surgical enterprise. Through three high-impact sessions, we’ll examine how organizations are reducing cancellations and throughput friction, strengthening surgeon alignment and block utilization, and making smarter technology investments that deliver measurable ROI.
Whether you oversee systemwide surgical strategy, manage perioperative operations, lead OR performance, or partner closely with physician stakeholders, this program is designed to provide practical strategies you can implement immediately.
WHY ATTEND?
- Reduce Cancellations and Eliminate Throughput Bottlenecks. Explore proven approaches to minimizing same-day cancellations, improving pre-op readiness, streamlining patient flow, and unlocking hidden OR capacity. Learn how leading systems are driving predictable, efficient surgical operations without compromising quality.
- Strengthen Surgeon Alignment and Optimize Block Utilization.In a competitive market for surgical talent, alignment strategies matter. Gain insight into block optimization models, governance structures, and data transparency practices that balance access, fairness, and financial performance.
- Invest in Technology That Delivers Measurable ROI. From analytics platforms to perioperative workflow tools, technology must move the needle on performance. Hear how organizations are evaluating, prioritizing, and implementing tech investments that improve efficiency, surgeon satisfaction, and financial outcomes.
- Learn from Health System Leaders Driving Enterprise-Wide Impact. Hear directly from executives and perioperative innovators about what’s working, what isn’t, and how they are sustaining momentum in an increasingly complex operating environment.
