How I lost $300,000 a year with poor surgery scheduling
9:15 AM - 9:45 AM EDT
Are you tracking your surgery close rate? Do you know how many surgical candidates are actually making it to the operating table? Do you know why and when surgical candidates are falling out of the pipeline? Or the levers you can pull to close more surgery? Does your burnt-out staff even have the bandwidth to nurture undecided surgical candidates? Learn the tips and tricks for creating a transparent data-driven surgical pipeline vital to supercharging your surgery scheduling and ensuring no patient is left behind. Discover strategies to eliminate surgeon silos, empower teams to autonomously coordinate surgery, and unlock collaboration to drive more surgical volume with less administrative burden. This session is designed to help your practice craft the ultimate surgical journey for both patients and staff.

Biography
As a surgeon, I found it appalling that I could operate with a robot, but struggled to track my surgical candidates. After implementing systems to measure KPIs of my surgical pipeline and staff, we increased surgical volume 10% with over 50% recovery of previously lost surgical candidates. Leveraging my software engineering background, we created a platform to help practices automate surgical coordination and monitoring. In this session, I hope to impart the wisdom gleaned from my team's 40+ years of healthcare experience crafting high-volume surgical pipelines for practices. I have spoken at the AAOS and healthcare forums on this
