Opmed.ai announces AI-powered OR optimization at Geisinger, marking milestone in health care innovation
DANVILLE, Pa. and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opmed.ai, a leading provider of AI-powered healthcare solutions, has announced the successful first results of the implementation of its advanced platform at Geisinger, a top-tier health services organization renowned for its commitment to innovation. This achievement represents a pivotal step in the integration of cutting-edge AI technology into health care operations and patient care.
Geisinger, serving more than 1 million people across multiple locations in Pennsylvania, will use Opmed.ai's innovative network science platform to enhance operating room (OR) management and improve data-driven decision-making across its 10 hospital campuses.
"We're excited to work with Geisinger, a forward-thinking health system that shares our vision for revolutionizing health care," said Mor Brokman, Ph.D., CEO of Opmed.ai. "This collaboration allows us to address Geisinger's growing surgical demands and showcase the power of our optimization engine in complex, multi-site health care environments."
Opmed.ai's platform uses AI and network science to analyze and optimize billions of logistical data points, transforming fragmented schedules into seamless workflows. This enables more clinical procedures, improves patient care and boosts revenue. Key features of the solution include:
- Daily case and block optimization: By analyzing historical data on previous OR cases and surgery blocks, the platform predicts case lengths, identifies scheduling gaps and creates small adjustments to avoid delays and unlock capacity for additional procedures.
- Multi-site load balancing: Instead of manual modeling, Opmed.ai's AI-driven solution analyzes patient flow and shifts scheduling blocks across multiple locations, reducing backlog and improving resource utilization.
- Efficient staff utilization: Leveraging AI models and historical data, Opmed.ai optimizes staff scheduling by predicting demand, reducing idle time and ensuring optimal staff allocation in seconds rather than days.
"At Geisinger, we're always seeking ways to enhance patient care," said Jeffrey Adams, Geisinger's chief administrative officer for surgical and medical services. "Opmed.ai's advanced platform aligns with our mission to make health care more accessible and efficient. We're already seeing first results and are confident this technology will help us maximize our OR capacity and accelerate patient care."
The partnership between Opmed.ai and Geisinger is expected to drive further advancements in AI-powered health care solutions, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
