How Hospitals Can Increase OR Profitability
6 Interventions to Reduce Costs and Increase Revenue in Surgical Services
The OR is the traditional revenue engine of the hospital. Perioperative services at better performing institutions contributes up to 68% of a hospital’s revenue and up to 60% of a hospital’s operating margin.

In many hospitals, the surgical services department no longer delivers the profit the organization needs to survive. What can hospital leaders do to shore up OR profitability? The key is to address root problems in OR organization and processes. This white paper from Surgical Directions describes six interventions that will transform your OR into a high-margin driver of hospital financial performance.
