As hospitals head into 2026, surgical services teams are under pressure to deliver predictable, efficient care while managing staffing constraints, rising case volume, and increasing costs tied to delays and equipment downtime.
This session uses the New Year as a reset moment: a practical “success plan” for OR and SPD leaders focused on equipment readiness and workflow reliability.
Attendees will walk through a set of high-impact strategies that work across hospitals nationwide, such as reducing avoidable delays, strengthening readiness processes, tracking the right KPIs, and preparing for survey readiness. Also featured is Surgical Solutions partner, Renovo/FiberTech to share what drives the most disruptive equipment failures like major scope repairs and how to prevent them, plus smart repair planning which helps reduce downtime when issues occur.
