• The Role Of AI In Mitigating COVID-19 Confusion

In fact, it’s the very opposite! Patient communication is more important than ever before.

• Making The Invisible Visible

  Now, more than ever, optimizing expensive and complex hospital resources like operating rooms (ORs) is a necessity for hospitals and health systems. Maximizing use of open and block time, implementing more cases during prime/staffed hours, and creating more predictable schedules translate into increased OR profitability and more predictable use of “out of OR” resources. All of this directly impacts a hospital’s bottom line.
