Anticipating the Surgery Surge

Assessing Operational Readiness to Ensure Success

Surgery coming back online presents a historic management challenge as most operating rooms have resource and time capacity limits.

Month to month forecasting shows that surgery demand may surge to 120 to 150% over historical baselines. Health Systems, Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, and competitors will be looking to recover lost revenues as soon as possible; are you ready?
