OhioHealth has expanded its partnership with Qventus to advance AI care operations across its healthcare network. The collaboration will introduce Qventus’ Perioperative Care Coordination and Surgical Growth Solutions.
This growth is on the heels of the successful implementation of Qventus’ Inpatient Capacity Solution. Which has saved OhioHealth 13,000 unnecessary hospital bed days and achieved savings of $5.1 million in costs. While automating 2,900 administrative work hours.
Currently, OhioHealth is expanding its AI care process in perioperative services. This is aimed at enhancing preparation before surgery, increasing accessibility, and minimizing operational difficulties. Many healthcare facilities are increasingly employing artificial intelligence for better efficiency. However, many of these systems continue to face challenges in implementing AI.
“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. These efforts support our mission to improve the health of those we serve.”
Qventus AI Solutions Enhance Surgical Care Efficiency
OhioHealth adopted Qventus following successful implementation of its inpatient solution. OhioHealth aims to improve patient preparation for surgery while enhancing surgical scheduling efficiency and reducing overall costs through optimized operations.
Qventus’ Perioperative Care Coordination Solution will help improve pre-admission testing teams. The AI solution will help in managing patient information, ensuring availability, and summarizing their medical charts. Additionally, it helps nurses in identifying patient risks.
“We build our solutions with clinicians who deeply understand pain points in care delivery, removing administrative burden so care teams can focus on what matters most: patient care. 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. They saw firsthand how Qventus’ AI platform alleviates the burden from frontline staff and unlocks same-store margin improvements across the organization. We’re honored that they’ve chosen to deepen our partnership and look forward to helping them improve patient outcomes, decrease surgery cancellations, and unlock strategic surgical growth that strengthens their ability to serve their community.”
Thus, the health system will be able to get more patients ready in advance. It will also help the organization avoid cancelling any surgeries at the eleventh hour. Lastly, nurses can be able to attend to more patients since their duties will become more efficient. Qventus’ Surgical Growth Solution helps in achieving strategic growth initiatives. The solution uses AI-powered assistants that enhance OR utilization.
Additionally, OhioHealth built the system to work with its Epic EHR and clinic system. The machine learning algorithms study the preferences and scheduling of surgeons. This means that the system is able to help with matching cases to the availability of operating rooms. Qventus is still working to automate complex workflow processes for health systems. The company tailors its AI solutions for care operations to meet clinicians’ needs.
