AI Software Modernizes Surgical Operations, Provides Real-Time Insights & Opens Access to Expert Surgical Care

West Tennessee Healthcare, a not-for-profit healthcare system with 7 hospitals and multiple supporting clinics, treating more than 185,000 patients, today announced a partnership with Qventus, the leading provider of AI-based software that automates health system operations and patient flows. Qventus’ Perioperative Solution empowers surgical teams at West Tennessee Healthcare to optimize scheduling and increase patient access by providing real-time visibility into operating room (OR) availability and proactively matching open times with the most suitable cases and surgeons.

At launch, the partnership will encompass 42 ORs across three West Tennessee Healthcare facilities, expanding to 56 ORs in all surgical-capable hospitals by fall 2024. Utilizing AI, machine learning, deep personalization, and automation, the health system will achieve strategic objectives by fueling revenue growth, reducing staff burden, and enhancing patient experiences. With the ability to train models to their specific strategy, West Tennessee Healthcare creates a personalized experience for every surgeon, service, and OR room.

“Surgical availability is key to serving our community well. Qventus is helping our organization streamline and transform the surgical scheduling processes for our patients, surgeons, and staff,” stated Melissa Hayden, MSN, CRNA; Executive Director, Surgical Services of West Tennessee Healthcare. “Maximizing our surgical assets and creating a better experience for our care teams is critical to reduce the hassle of antiquated systems like faxing, calling, and repeatedly emailing to schedule surgical encounters. This new technology helps us fill every white space with the most appropriate surgeon and case. Ultimately, Qventus reduces the noise to enable us to provide the care that truly matters.”

Qventus’ suite of AI-based SaaS solutions are purpose-built for care operations automation. The Perioperative Solution integrates with EHRs and uses machine learning-based automations, behavioral science, and exclusive 3rd party claims data to drive new levels of efficiency across OR departments. It’s the only solution that automates end-to-end thoughtful surgical program growth by:

  • Prioritizing Strategic Cases: Maximizing the total case volume by backfilling open time with the most impactful cases for hospital goals.
  • Empowering Surgeons: Leverages AI to predict unused block time and empowers surgeons to release it early.
  • Precision Open Time Marketing: Advertises relevant and valuable open time slots based on surgeon preferences and facility capabilities.
  • Real-Time Data Insights: Leverages market and surgical claims data to optimize supply and demand, improving referral strategies.
  • Robotic Program Optimization: Unlocks program potential by maximizing robotic surgery utilization.

“Poor block utilization means critical OR time goes unused. By addressing inefficiencies, we can enable health system partners to predict and meet the evolving needs of patients seeking care,” said Mudit Garg CEO and Co-Founder of Qventus. “Through meaningful implementation that solves real-world problems, we can unlock data insights, empower clinicians, and automate workflows to improve care delivery.”
