Problem
Many surgical procedures are cancelled at the last minute because patients fail to complete preoperative medical clearance, follow instructions, or have unresolved clinical issues. These cancellations waste operating‑room time, increase staffing inefficiencies, and cost hospitals millions of dollars annually. Existing pre‑op workflows rely on manual data collection and fragmented communication, leading to delays and errors.
Solution
Orchestra Health offers an AI‑driven preoperative readiness platform that centralizes and automates the entire pre‑op intake process. By integrating with national EMR and health‑information exchange (HIE) networks, the system gains a complete view of each patient’s medical history and applies risk‑stratification models to identify potential clearance issues early. The platform guides patients through digital instructions, orders required studies, and securely delivers documentation to surgical teams, all from desktop or mobile interfaces. Real‑time analytics and alerts are presented within clinicians’ existing workflow, reducing manual effort by up to 80 % and helping facilities improve surgical throughput by roughly 20 %. The solution’s end‑to‑end encryption and compliance controls ensure patient data remain protected while enabling faster decision‑making.
Target Audience
The primary customers are surgeons, ambulatory surgery centers, and health‑system perioperative teams that manage high‑volume surgical schedules and need reliable pre‑operative clearance.
