The Surgical Services analytics accelerator identifies patients across the surgical population who would benefit from optimized surgical recovery. By integrating data from clinical care, surgical operations, and supply chains, it can pinpoint variations and deliver actionable insights for improving surgical services.

As the population includes those required by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP), certain aspects of manual data extraction can be automated. The process begins with evaluating the current state to identify variations—whether clinical, operational, or related to abstraction—and uncover areas for improvement. With proven expertise, our team understands what works and how to implement it effectively.

The Challenge

Health systems that have acquired ambulatory care practices—and independent ambulatory practices alike—face tremendous financial pressures and challenges to financial sustainability. If you’re an ambulatory care leader, you’re looking to improve the efficiency of the services you provide and find cost savings without negatively impacting patient outcomes, the community, or the integrity of the organization. Yet it can be difficult to access data that brings actionable insights to inform decisions to improve patient access, panel management, provider productivity, referral management, or quality scores.

Benefits

Our solution addresses these challenges by offering both cutting-edge technology and expert consulting. Our platform integrates data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive view of surgical services performance and pinpoint opportunities for improvement. Paired with our subject matter experts, we deliver the insights, knowledge, and experience needed to transform data into actionable change.

  • Promotes best practice in surgery. Identifies and supports the implementation of optimal quality practices, providing insights into the impact of care on mortality, length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission rates, costs, and surgical site infection rates.
  • Optimizes operating room (OR) efficiency. Highlights opportunities for improvement by addressing late starts, room turnover times, first-case start/stop timings, and case cancellation rates.
  • Streamlines NSQIP reporting. Enables semi-automated registry reporting for the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP).
  • Uncovers cost variations. Identifies discrepancies in device and supply costs among providers, promoting cost-effective practices.
