Perioperative services remain one of the most powerful — and most underutilized — levers for operational and financial performance. Yet most health systems are still attempting to reduce variation and control costs without the data governance, clinical alignment, or operational ownership structures to make improvement stick.
In this Becker's CXO webinar, Vizient and Ochsner Health share the real story behind Ochsner's perioperative transformation — the headwinds they faced, the foundational capabilities they built using Procedural Analytics, and the measurable results that followed. This is a practical conversation grounded in lessons learned, not theory.
What to expect
- Why perioperative margin optimization fails without trusted data and the steps Ochsner took to change that
- The role of Vizient's Procedural Analytics in moving from data visibility to decisive action — and how to identify high-value opportunities in your own system
- The most common mistakes health systems make when attempting to reduce surgical variation and ways to avoid them
- How Ochsner aligned supply chain strategy, clinical leadership, and operational data to drive performance and reduce variation system-wide
