After proven results with Qventus’ Inpatient Capacity Solution, OhioHealth is expanding into perioperative care, extending automated care operations across the enterprise.
When OhioHealth first partnered with Qventus, the goal was clear: reduce excess hospital days and free up frontline staff from administrative burden. The Inpatient Capacity Solution delivered on that goal and then some, saving nearly 13,000 excess hospital days, generating $5.1M in cost savings, and automating almost 2,900 hours of administrative work.
Now OhioHealth is expanding that partnership into the perioperative journey, adding Qventus’ Perioperative Care Coordination and Surgical Growth Solutions across the enterprise.
A Market Under Pressure to Deliver
The pressure to operationalize AI in healthcare has never been higher. 65% of health system leaders rank that pressure at 7 or higher out of 10. Yet only 4% have achieved scaled implementation with measurable outcomes. More than 70% of health system leaders now rank automated care operations as “very critical” or “mission-critical” to their 2026 objectives.
OhioHealth’s expansion places them firmly in that small group of health systems translating AI pressure into AI results through automating operations.
Taking Below-License Work Off PAT Nurses
With the Perioperative Care Coordination Solution, Qventus’ AI teammates track down patient records, confirm patient availability for calls, mine and summarize charts, and risk-stratify patients, removing below-license administrative work from PAT nurses. Built by anesthesiologists and PAT nurses with direct clinic experience, the solution addresses the full complexity of pre-admission testing workflows, going well beyond voice-only point solutions.
The result: OhioHealth can optimize more patients further in advance of surgery, reduce 72-hour cancellations, and free up nurses to spend more time on direct patient care.
Driving Strategic Surgical Growth
OhioHealth had already implemented EHR-native tools and other AI solutions without seeing the strategic growth results they needed. With Qventus’ Surgical Growth Solution, they gain a suite of AI assistants fully embedded in Epic and clinic EMRs, working around the clock to match the right cases with the right rooms at the right time.
Machine learning models personalize to individual surgeon preferences and behavior patterns, matching open OR slots with the right surgeons and prioritizing high-value cases over first-come, first-served scheduling. The goal: increased robotics volume, higher primetime utilization, and accelerated growth from independent surgeons.
Enterprise-Wide Is the New Standard
OhioHealth joins a growing number of health systems expanding their Qventus footprint beyond a single care setting. Unlike point solutions requiring resource-intensive standalone implementations, Qventus clients build on a unified platform with embedded EHR integrations and AI assistants that work together across workflows. It’s this combination of proven ROI and hands-on partnership that has made Qventus the category leader in automated care operations.
“OhioHealth is committed to adopting technologies that strengthen care delivery and support our caregivers,” said Brian Jepson, Market President, OhioHealth. “Building on our experience using Qventus’ AI-enabled operational platform, we’re expanding this work into the perioperative setting to help reduce administrative burden, better prepare patients for surgery, and increase access to surgical care through more efficient scheduling.”
“When health systems experience the tangible impact of automated care operations in one area, they see the potential to transform operations system-wide,” said Mudit Garg, CEO and co-founder, Qventus. “OhioHealth exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking leadership that understands AI isn’t just about solving isolated challenges.”
