Northwell Health, like many major health systems, struggled to expand perioperative volume due to persistent operational bottlenecks—relying on manual scheduling workflows, challenging block governance workflows, and limited real-time OR visibility. These inefficiencies restricted surgical volume growth and hampered financial margins, ultimately impacting patient access and delaying needed care.

Join Adam Becker, Vice President for Perioperative Strategy & Operations; Ryan Ott, Director of Financial Operations for Interventional Radiology & Perioperative Services; and Colby Wilson, Director, Financial Operations for Perioperative Services as they share how Northwell leveraged analytics-driven strategies and a predictive scheduling platform to modernize OR operations. Learn firsthand how they:

• Improved staff productivity by eliminating manual scheduling tasks, reducing time spent on faxes and phone calls.

• Optimized OR utilization leading to a 6% increase in inpatient surgical volume and an annualized growth of 2,500 incremental surgical cases overall. 

• Established data-driven governance to drive systemwide efficiency and long-term sustainability.
