Geisinger Partners with Opmed.ai to Revolutionize OR Management through AI-Powered Network Science
Geisinger, one of the nation’s leading value-based care providers, has partnered with Opmed.ai to enhance operating room (OR) management and streamline decision-making across its 10 hospital campuses in Pennsylvania. Serving over 1.2 million people in urban and rural communities, Geisinger has a longstanding impact on Pennsylvania’s healthcare landscape, generating $10 billion in annual revenue, and driving an estimated $15 billion economic impact in the state.
Founded in 1915 by philanthropist Abigail Geisinger, the nonprofit health system spans 126 care sites, including 10 hospital campuses, and operates the Geisinger Health Plan, which covers more than half a million members in both commercial and government plans. With 26,000 employees, including 1,700 employed physicians, and a robust College of Health Sciences that educates over 5,000 medical professionals annually, Geisinger’s commitment to innovation and quality care is longstanding.
Through Opmed.ai’s innovative network science platform, Geisinger will improve OR efficiency and expand procedural capacity by optimizing billions of logistical data points. Key features of the platform include:
– Daily Case and Block Optimization: By analyzing historical data on previous cases and surgery blocks, Opmed.ai predicts case durations, identifies scheduling gaps, and makes real-time adjustments to reduce delays and unlock capacity for additional procedures.
– Multi-Site Load Balancing: Opmed.ai’s AI-driven model enhances resource utilization across locations by analyzing patient flow and dynamically shifting scheduling blocks, minimizing backlog without requiring manual intervention.
– Staff Utilization Efficiency: Using predictive AI models, Opmed.ai ensures optimal staff allocation by forecasting demand, reducing idle time, and enabling efficient scheduling adjustments within seconds.
Geisinger’s deployment of Opmed.ai underscores its dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology to increase procedural capacity, improve patient care, and drive operational efficiencies across its network. This partnership demonstrates Geisinger’s leadership in value-based care and its commitment to adopting innovative, data-driven solutions for the benefit of Pennsylvania communities. “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.”
