Practical thinking on AI pre-operative assessment, anesthesia workflow efficiency, and the future of clinical decision support. Written for the people who actually do the work.
In-house control vs. outsourced flexibility — the staffing decision every ASC faces. A full tradeoff analysis of employed anesthesia, contracted groups, and the hybrid model gaining traction with mid-size centers, plus how pre-op screening quality changes the math on all three.
Read articleEach day-of cancellation costs ASCs $3,000–$8,000 in lost OR time, idle staff, and rescheduling overhead. 40–60% are preventable with better pre-op screening. Here's the math — and the ROI case for structured intake.
Read articleThe minimum MIPS score to avoid any penalty rose to 75 points in 2026. Groups that were compliant last year may no longer be. Here's what changed — the three scoring categories that matter most for anesthesia, where groups lose points, and how structured pre-op documentation directly supports your Quality measures.
Read articleDay-of cancellations cost mid-size ASCs $50,000–$100,000 per month. 40–60% are preventable with better pre-op screening. Here's what's broken in the standard process — and the specific changes that close the gap.
Read article11 items, clinical reasoning for each, common miss rates, and how AI catches what manual review misses. From cardiac risk and airway assessment to medication reconciliation, NPO status, and anesthesia history — the structured protocol your pre-op workflow is missing.
Read articleThe national ASC cancellation rate is 5–10%, costing $2,000–$8,000 per case in lost revenue. AI pre-op screening catches the risk factors 24–48 hours before surgery — medication conflicts, lab flags, cardiac risk, airway predictors, compliance gaps — when there's still time to act.
Read articleManual pre-op screening has been a 15–30 minute time sink for decades. AI changes the math — not by replacing clinical judgment, but by doing the structured data work so you don't have to. Here's what's actually changing, what risk scoring accuracy looks like, and what to look for in a tool.
