At OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, the OR is a hub of constant activity—but like many hospitals, valuable minutes were being lost to unused block time, last-minute cancellations, and disconnected scheduling workflows. Instead of accepting those inefficiencies, the team set out to redesign how surgical time was managed. By combining AI-powered tools, structured governance, and a culture shift toward transparency and shared accountability, the team built a system that’s scalable, data-driven, and surgeon-friendly.

In this session, you’ll hear how Grant turned reactive scheduling into a proactive, data-driven system—and how they’re sustaining results over time.

Learn how their team:

• Increased block utilization by 3% YoY and freed up 18,100 fewer minutes of unused block time
• Captured 148,000 additional OR minutes since go-live
• Backfilled 43% of released time with cases from other surgeons
• Engaged nearly 1,900 surgeons through smarter workflows and improved visibility

This isn’t just about more minutes, it’s about building trust, efficiency, and a system that works better for everyone in the OR.
