THE CHALLENGE

UAMS was under pressure to meet growing demand

As a primary referral site and regional destination for complex surgical care, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) needed to boost efficiency to meet community needs. To address this challenge, the organization first invested in infrastructure, adjusted organizational structure, and revised OR policies.
Although these initiatives drove incremental improvements, the perioperative enterprise still experienced significant inefficiencies. In order to accelerate OR performance and create a sustainable advantage over the long-term, UAMS leaders decided to look beyond their four walls and take advantage of modern technologies.
QVENTUS DEPLOYMENT

They turned to Qventus for a strategic partner

Together, we enabled them to automate their care operations. Using modern innovations in AI, machine learning, and behavioral science, the Qventus Perioperative Solution is an end-to-end solution for surgical growth. It enables surgeons and schedulers to view all available slots that meet their needs in a matter of seconds—without logging into the EHR. To further increase access, AI identifies and automatically offers ideal slots to UAMS surgeons and schedulers.

What we deployed for UAMS

Qventus Perioperative Solution

The machine learning algorithms in our solution can predict unused blocks weeks in advance, then apply principles of behavioral science to incentivize release of the time, increasing available OR time.

The solution also provides perioperative leaders with instant access to performance metrics, such as primetime utilization, block utilization, and scheduling accuracy. This enables more impactful feedback discussions and more productive surgical governance discussions.
