Huron Consulting Group helped University of Virginia Medical Center optimize operating room (OR) utilization amid capacity constraints by implementing surgical flow, emergency department, and inpatient flow solutions. They improved surgical access and patient preparedness by enhancing pre-admission testing and documentation, reduced pre-anesthesia wait times by restructuring roles, and increased phone pre-anesthesia evaluations. Huron also provided data and reports to support informed business decisions, improved governance for OR oversight, and refined scheduling policies, resulting in a 5.3% increase in OR utilization during prime hours and a 14% increase in scheduling accuracy.
