OR Today has been approved and is licensed to be a Continuing Education Provider with the California Board of Registered Nurses, License #16623.
In this 60-minute webinar, experts Shawn Sefton and Kim Hamilton discussed how outdated, manual processes and lack of trusted data cap OR utilization. Traditional approaches for managing perioperative block allocation are rigid and often lead to underutilized ORs and unsatisfied surgeons. Attendees were able to learn how AI and automated workflows can help dynamically manage blocks and improve perioperative performance by improving access to available OR time. The experts also discussed creating visibility and transparency in block management as well as simplifying the process of booking OR time. They also addressed streamlining the process of managing the block schedule.

“Matched well,” Nurse Manager H. Comeau said.
