THE CHALLENGE

Operational complexity was holding them back

As a newly combined health system, the complexity of operations made it difficult for teams to deliver on the M Health Fairview brand promise. Hospitals across the system operated in siloes and frontline teams relied on highly manual processes.

Process improvements and EHR tools were no longer enough. Leadership knew they needed to improve operational reliability and decrease complexity for care teams and patients.

QVENTUS DEPLOYMENT

We delivered system-wide digital transformation

By partnering with Qventus, M Health Fairview transformed their care operations and unlocked significant efficiency improvements. With enhanced operational reliability, the health system increased capacity to care for patients and decreased workload for staff—making it easier for M Health Fairview to deliver on its vision of consumer-centered care.
On top of the Qventus real-time automation platform that integrates with their EHR, M Health Fairview also deployed our Perioperative Solution to optimize OR utilization.

“When I think about M Health Fairview’s vision of becoming one of the top academic health systems, you can’t get that without a partnership like we have with Qventus.”

Laura Reed, DNP, MBA, RN

Chief Nursing Executive

SOLUTIONS

What we deployed for M Health Fairview

Qventus Perioperative Solution

In order to recover surgical volumes and margins eroded by the pandemic, M Health Fairview is driving perioperative growth by automating OR scheduling processes with Qventus.

The solution unlocks additional OR time by using machine learning to predict unused blocks weeks in advance, then encouraging release of that time back to M Health Fairview’s ORs. The software proactively offers OR time to surgeons and schedulers and also provides a reservation interface for them to view and request OR time—without logging into the EHR. What’s more, M Health Fairview leaders and surgeons can monitor their operational performance in real-time.
