Hospital executives are faced with supply chain, staffing, and financial challenges every day. These challenges, coupled with the need to balance cost vs. value, can greatly impact a hospital’s long-term growth strategy. One solution to address some of this financial pressure is to maximize existing system use to help drive down the capital cost per case.
Hospitals and health systems worldwide use da Vinci surgical systems. Many of our customers perform more than 475 procedures per system annually.1 Your organization may be overlooking major benefits of da Vinci robotic surgery if it isn’t maximizing the use of its systems.
These robotic systems have broad applicability, with approximately 70 representative uses.2 Clinicians can use the systems for simple to complex procedures and across a wide variety of surgical specialties, including:
To better amortize your capital cost per case and improve your return on investment, explore these three options:
Our interconnected systems provide data and digital insights from more than 12 million procedures worldwide. With this data, Intuitive has identified best practices that can help increase system utilization within your da Vinci robotics program. We help our hospital customers realize opportunities to:
Over the last decade, soft-tissue surgery with da Vinci systems has experienced a 27% increase, while traditional laparoscopic and open surgery has declined 13% and 14% respectively.3 To take on this growth efficiently, Intuitive can help you maximize your procedure volume, to reduce your total da Vinci surgical system cost per case. We’ll work with you to explore:
We can explain best practices explicitly adapted to your organization and clinicians.
Our technology is designed to maximize patient and care team access. This allows surgeons to operate across multiple quadrants and complete a wide range of minimally invasive procedures.
You also can design your operating room (OR) scheduling and throughput to achieve this benefit and become more efficient. Our clients who achieve high utilization employ:
Intuitive in-house resources are available to help you increase ROI from your da Vinci surgical systems. Our resources include:
Our OR consultative team, Genesis, has performed almost 1,700 global program efficiency visits. We helped those hospital clients improve operational efficiency and align their processes with Intuitive technologies.
Our services help customers maximize the value of their da Vinci robotic-assisted platforms. We have advised clients on:
“Genesis aims to help hospitals achieve the quadruple aim, by caring for care teams. Our training and consulting services focus on best practice process improvement strategies that maximize efficiency, improve access, and to reduce workflow variability,” says John Dougherty, vice president of Genesis Worldwide.
“Our team’s mission is to prepare hospital teams to safely, confidently, and efficiently manage robotic surgery in their unique environment.”
Intuitive's Market Access & Custom Analytics (MACA) work to enable fact-based decision-making for hospital leaders and operators to maximize the Da Vinci program. We help frame questions related to da Vinci Program Value, Optimization, and Growth Opportunities in a fact-based way.
The MACA team is comprised of former hospital leaders and analysts that leverage structure problem-solving techniques that incorporate our combined 120 years of experience in perioperative change management. We’ve completed more than 2,000 custom analytics engagements in 680+ U.S. hospitals since 2018.
“There is no shortage of data available to administrators and perioperative leaders but assessing what is actionable is where the MACA team can lend some insights,” says Matt Carroll, senior director of MACA.
“Together, we can assess opportunities based on effort and benefit first, then model after the best practices we observe within your own hospital. This approach helps identify and prioritize which of Intuitive’s many ecosystem resources can work to pull through the change.”
Our da Vinci Learning Portfolio helps surgeons and care teams build proficiency. We have five training pathways:
Intuitive designed these flexible learning options for people with diverse knowledge levels and learning styles. We have multiple types of training opportunities ranging from in-person to virtual, introductory to advanced, individual, and group.
It’s our goal to help our customers protect and maximize their robotics program’s performance and impact. Maximizing utilization can lower costs per case by amortizing more cases on your da Vinci systems and optimizing your organization’s operational efficiency.
We recognize that when our clients maximize the value they get from their robotic platforms, it’s a win-win for them and for Intuitive.
We’ll help you learn more about how you can utilize your robotic systems more efficiently.
Thank you for your submission.
