Case Study: Trinitas Regional Medical Center increases OR utilization with Hospital IQ

More Efficient Perioperative Staffing and Block Scheduling to Drive Bottom-Line Revenue

Trinitas Regional Medical Center, a 554-bed full-service Catholic teaching hospital with 10 operating rooms across two campuses, struggled with unreliable and disorganized perioperative data. The lack of visibility made it difficult to align staffing skill sets with surgical demand, caused idle staff and overtime, and limited insight into block utilization and scheduling efficiency.

Using Hospital IQ’s Perioperative solution, Trinitas implemented advanced analytics and predictive modeling to optimize block utilization, improve first-case starts, and better match staffing to demand. With Hospital IQ, the hospital increased OR block utilization by 13%, reduced labor costs by 7%, and cut manual reporting work by the equivalent of half an FTE.
