Getting Started with Artificial Intelligence in Surgery

Everything you need to know about adopting and implementing AI in your operating rooms

Whether you're just getting started, or already shopping for AI vendors, these resources are designed to help you navigate your AI journey, from beginning to end.

The business case for Surgical Intelligence

An estimated 50-60% of hospital revenue is generated from surgery, making it the profit sanctuary of most health systems. However most of what goes on in the OR after the doors close is only known by those in the room. Outside of basics, like procedure type, surgeon operating, and procedure time, it is challenging to identify surgical trends or associate these trends with outcomes.

The very nature of this extremely limited visibility means quality of care is highly variable and inefficiencies are nearly impossible to spot, leaving operating margins compromised.

This level of transparency is only possible when OR data is captured and analyzed at scale, transforming operating rooms into data centers with actionable ways to drive continuous quality improvement. That is why we refer to this as “surgical intelligence”.

Surgical Intelligence roadmap for choosing the right AI solution

Set Surgical Intelligence up for success

Successful implementation and deriving ongoing value from surgical intelligence starts with choosing the right vendor and ends with a collaborative partnership. It requires more than just a technical install, departments must create a culture of quality and a system-wide commitment to continuous improvement.
