– Qventus, a leading provider of AI-based care automation software for health systems, today announced the launch of its Perioperative Care Coordination (PCC) solution that alleviates the administrative burden and enhances productivity for pre-admission testing staff, reduces surgery cancellations, and optimizes more patients pre- and post-surgery.

Qventus Introduces AI-Powered Perioperative Care Coordination to Optimize Surgical Operations
Qventus leverages AI to automate healthcare operations, enabling health systems to secure the margins necessary to deliver high-quality patient care. Used by over 115 health systems, the Qventus enterprise platform reduces administrative burdens, identifies potential issues early, suggests interventions, and takes action to resolve operational challenges. The platform enhances strategic surgical growth, increases capacity, and reduces costs while delivering powerful insights. Notably, 100% of clients consider Qventus integral to their long-term strategy.
Surgery is a primary revenue driver for hospitals, yet approximately 50% of pre- and post-surgical coordination remains manual, leading to inefficiencies such as avoidable surgery cancellations. This outdated approach places undue stress on patients and healthcare teams, particularly in light of ongoing nursing shortages and an aging population with increasing healthcare needs.
“Qventus’ Perioperative Care Coordination (PCC) solution furthers our vision of reducing the administrative burden on providers and ensuring highly reliable care for patients,” said Mudit Garg, Founder and CEO of Qventus. “By decreasing surgery cancellations, allowing nurses to operate at the top of their license, and optimizing patients pre- and post-surgery, health systems can sustain the financial margins necessary to support quality care delivery.”
Developed in collaboration with leading healthcare systems—including HonorHealth, Allina Health, Northwestern Medicine, Ardent Health, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences—the PCC solution has demonstrated significant outcomes:
· Up to 40% reduction in surgery and procedure cancellations
· 50% productivity boost for perioperative care teams
· Tens of millions of dollars in ROI through cost savings and improved surgical preparedness
When implemented alongside the Surgical Growth Solution, Qventus’ perioperative suite enables health systems to scale their Pre-Admission Testing (PAT) programs while expanding surgical volumes and reducing overall costs.
Key Features of the PCC Solution:
· PAT Workflow Support: AI assistants help nurses prioritize, schedule, and conduct PAT phone calls, including EHR note-taking and medical record requests.
· Continuous Risk Determination: AI and machine learning identify patient-specific risk factors through EHR data, chart reviews, and patient interactions.
· AI Patient Concierge Services: Automated patient outreach via voice, text, and email for intake collection, appointment coordination, and follow-up tracking.
· Intelligent Document Management: Automated processing and review of faxed, scanned, and emailed patient records.
· Patient Optimization: Seamless identification and coordination of wraparound care opportunities for additional patient support.
Qventus’ $105 million Series D funding, led by KKR, accelerates the company’s broader vision for AI-driven healthcare operations. The Qventus solution suite includes the Inpatient Capacity Solution, which reduced hospital stays by over 36,000 excess days in 2024, and the Surgical Growth Solution, which delivers an average of 11x ROI.
