WakeMed didn’t expand its footprint with new ORs, yet still achieved double-digit gains in surgical access and throughput. In this session, Chief Medical Officer Charles Harr, MD, shares how the health system aligned physician and anesthesia leadership, leveraged EHR-integrated technology and implemented targeted operational changes to better utilize existing capacity.

Attendees will hear how WakeMed drove an 11% increase in prime-time OR case minutes, a 21% increase in prime-time procedural case minutes and a 13.5% year-over-year rise in proactively released block time — turning existing resources into meaningful access gains.
