Surgical Services Optimization

Operating Rooms are one of a hospital’s most valuable assets, representing vast investments in equipment, staff and surgeons. ORs account for a disproportionate contribution to hospital revenues, yet at most hospitals 30-35% of operating room time goes unused. That’s waste that affects patient care and hospital performance. It doesn’t have to be that way.

 For more than twenty years, Brighthospital has been partnering with healthcare networks and hospitals to uncover systemic inefficiencies in hospital operating room operations. Our optimization recommendations lead to performance improvements that often include:

•  Better overall operating room throughput – Brighthospital analytics uncover systemic inefficiencies that reduce Operating Room availability and time-in-service.

• Improved job satisfaction for surgeons, clinicians and staff – Brighthospital’s process optimization recommendations allow surgical services teams to better predict and schedule the space and labor they’ll need – when they need it.

• Improved operating room performance – by eliminating the waste inherent to OR block scheduling, Brighthospital allows hospitals to support the demand for care and respond to opportunities for growth.
