Case Study: Banner Health achieves 7X ROI and boosts OR access with Qventus Perioperative

Banner Health Achieves 7x ROI by Optimizing Surgical Scheduling

Banner Health, a nonprofit system of 33 hospitals across six states, needed to improve operating room (OR) access and utilization without compromising patient care. Facing rising surgical demand and fewer scheduling staff, Banner sought a replacement for its OR scheduling tool to automate processes, maximize robotic asset use, and deliver real‑time actionable insights; after evaluating several vendors they selected Qventus and its Perioperative solution in 2023.

Qventus implemented a configurable, bi‑directional EHR‑integrated Perioperative platform with onsite support and AI/ML models tailored to Banner’s workflows, moving from a four‑site pilot to enterprise‑wide adoption. Six months post go‑live Banner reported a 7X ROI and a two‑month payback, 359+ hours of block released early per month (60% YoY increase), 6.3% higher primetime utilization, 2.1 additional cases per OR per month (148 cases from Qventus block‑release and marketed‑time automations), 13 more robotic cases per month, and roughly 235 additional cases per month of increased access.
