When documentation in the OR isn’t accurate, the risks go beyond billing headaches. Inaccurate implant charting and missing item master data create compliance concerns, increase the chance of off-contract spend, and pull staff away from what matters most - patient care. In this session, we’ll share real examples of how “close enough charting” disrupts compliance and care, why hospitals struggle to keep up with data gaps, and what health systems are asking for from technology and vendor partners. You’ll also learn how smarter workflows can reduce disputes, improve compliance, and give OR teams the certainty they need to stay focused on patients.

Grant Medical Center, part of OhioHealth, was facing challenges common to many ORs, including inefficient scheduling practices, staffing constraints that impeded effective scheduling, and poorly informed management of surgical block time due to limited data availability. By partnering with LeanTaaS in September 2022, the center has made significant strides in OR efficiency, including notable gains in both block utilization and prime time utilization (PTU). These results stemmed from the adoption of advanced AI tools and the integration of best practices to optimize operations. Dr. Joel Shaw, VP Medical Affairs at OhioHealth, will discuss how Grant Medical Center’s strategic approach to OR management—utilizing AI-driven tools such as proactive block release reminders and accurate case length predictions—led to more precise scheduling and overall enhanced efficiency.
