Perioperative teams are being asked to improve throughput, reduce documentation burden and make faster operational decisions — often while relying on manual workflows and fragmented information about what is happening across the OR.
On Sept. 29, Jeffrey Cadeddu, MD, executive medical director for perioperative services at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and Sam Wald, MD, chief medical officer for perioperative and interventional care at Stanford Health Care, will discuss how their organizations are using ambient AI and real-time procedural intelligence to automate documentation, improve coordination and optimize OR schedules.
Learnings include:
- How ambient AI can automate intraoperative documentation, including procedural timestamps written directly into the EHR, reducing manual work for clinical teams
- How real-time room progress gives perioperative teams a shared understanding of where each case stands, improving coordination across the front desk, preoperative areas, operating rooms and PACU
- How AI-powered schedule optimization can prospectively recommend case sequencing and room assignments to improve throughput and reduce idle time, overtime and operational variation
Attendees will learn how leading health systems are applying AI not just to analyze OR performance after the fact, but to improve the workflows and decisions that shape operations throughout the day.
