Perioperative
Operations Virtual Summit

Wednesday, Sept 23, 2026  | 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM CT

Where OR Performance Becomes Predictable

Operating rooms are a hospital’s performance engine — yet idle rooms, late starts, staffing scrambles, and preventable cancellations still steal capacity and strain teams. With surgical demand rising and resources tight, perioperative leaders are expected to deliver fuller, more predictable days even as disruption shifts hour to hour. Meeting this moment requires a smarter, connected approach to surgical flow.

That’s why Transform Perioperative Operations Virtual Summit exists. This focused, half-day experience is for leaders ready to move from reactive scheduling to proactive orchestration. 

You’ll hear what’s working right now to improve flow across the surgical journey — from referral through discharge — using predictive intelligence and AI-powered automation to anticipate demand, align blocks and staffing, and prevent avoidable cancellations before they ripple through the day. The payoff is both human and operational: smoother OR performance, stronger surgical access, calmer workdays for teams, and new capacity without adding rooms, staff, or hours.
