Surgical Department Efficiency
🔹 A Critical Driver of Hospital Revenue
The surgical department is often the hospital’s top source of revenue, contributing 10% to 15% of total margin—even as reimbursement rates decline. With so much riding on its performance, it’s essential to treat the OR as a strategic business unit, not just a clinical one.
🔹 The Need for Measurable, Ongoing Improvement
Surgemetry® helps hospitals elevate their ability to track and manage operational and financial performance. From OR start times and turnover to block utilization and staffing patterns, we help you see what matters, spot inefficiencies, and act on them. This level of insight is key to long-term surgical success.
🔹 Alignment Across the Surgical Ecosystem
OR performance depends on seamless coordination between surgeons, schedulers, anesthesia, vendors, and hospital staff. Like a finely tuned watch, each part must move in sync. Surgemetry® supports this alignment with fractional leadership, committee participation, and ongoing consultative support—all with the goal of improving outcomes, morale, and financial sustainability.
Anesthesia Service Line Analysis
🔹 Anesthesia as a Strategic Partner
Anesthesia plays a vital role in both the clinical and financial performance of the OR. Their involvement in alignment efforts across surgical services is essential—not just for safety and efficiency, but for morale and sustainability. Surgemetry® emphasizes transparency, trust, and collaboration as foundational elements of the hospital–anesthesia relationship.
🔹 Coverage, Cost, and Contract Clarity
Every element of anesthesia service—call coverage, shift types, stipend levels, and provider mix—must be clearly understood and regularly reviewed. The biggest factor is often provider compensation. Striking the right balance is key: paying above market can waste resources, while underpaying can lead to burnout, turnover, or difficulty recruiting top talent. We help hospitals evaluate these tradeoffs with objectivity and fairness.
🔹 Data-Driven Negotiation and Scalability
Surgemetry® provides detailed cost analyses and service models that allow hospitals and anesthesia groups to negotiate smarter. By understanding true coverage needs and breaking down cost drivers, both parties can arrive at sustainable, mutually beneficial agreements. We also help evaluate flexibility for scaling services up or down as surgical volume changes over time.
Results Based Work
🔹 Results-Driven, Not Just Process-Oriented
Every hospital is different—and so is every Surgemetry® engagement. While we follow a disciplined approach to analyzing operations and setting priorities, our true focus is on outcomes. Our philosophy centers on results-based work: driving measurable improvements that impact patient care, staff efficiency, and the bottom line.
We believe process matters—but only when it leads to progress. That’s why we tailor each project to the specific goals, challenges, and culture of the hospital we’re supporting. The ultimate measure of success isn’t how many meetings we hold or reports we deliver—it’s the meaningful results we help you achieve.
