Perioperative Education
Scaling best practices throughout the OR
Workforce shortages are among the top challenges facing hospitals and perioperative teams. This educational forum, developed exclusively for and in support of perioperative leadership, robotics surgeon leaders, and OR staff, offers virtual learning and in-person opportunities to help operational leadership reimagine and enhance their robotics service line. Our continuum of courses highlights available tools and resources within the Intuitive Unified Ecosystem that address relevant topics such as workforce shortages and new staffing models, identifying and implementing operational efficiencies, team effectiveness, and opportunities for standardization that support physician leaders. We also focus on helping you identify opportunities to enhance team engagement and morale—both critically important to achieving staffing goals and operational efficiencies.
Collaboration with the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA) enable us to provide continuing education opportunities offering best practice strategies that can potentially impact your robotics programs.
The Genesis team, backed by over a decade of in-field experience, is dedicated to learning and sharing best practices to help hospital leaders, care teams, and surgeons maximize the use of da Vinci and Ion systems, instruments & accessories. Whether you are integrating Intuitive systems for the first time, focused on operational improvements or expanding your program…the Genesis team can help.
The Genesis team can help to:
Access management
Evaluate current utilization and future access and technology needs,
integrating scheduling processes and block schedule recommendations
to maximize system utilization, including after hours and weekends.
Program management
Help achieve program goals by creating leadership structures, establishing
communication pathways and implementing operational best practices.
Cost containment
Evaluate current inventory management processes to eliminate waste,
improve efficiencies and reduce your robotics service line costs.
Work optimization
Improve OR and reprocessing workflows in robotic service lines by evaluating the
current state and implementing standardized processes and training strategies which can improve non-operative efficiencies, reduce variability, and increase predictability.
OR staff and reprocessing training & development
Genesis provides OR care teams and reprocessing staff with an understanding of the handling, care, and integration of Intuitive surgical systems, instruments, accessories, and technology.
Resident and fellow training
Genesis establishes an onboarding program for future surgeons by integrating the use of the da Vinci or Ion systems into your surgical residency and fellow curriculum.

Important safety information
Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications, which may require prolonged and/or unexpected hospitalization and/or reoperation, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: injury to tissues/organs, bleeding, infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction/pain.
Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: temporary pain/nerve injury associated with positioning; a longer operative time, the need to convert to an open approach, or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure could result in a longer operative time, a longer time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications.
Contraindications applicable to the use of conventional endoscopic instruments also apply to the use of all da Vinci instruments. For important safety information, including surgical risks and considerations, please also refer to www.intuitive.com/safety. For a product’s intended use and/or indications for use, risks, full cautions, and warnings, please refer to the associated user manual(s).
Individual outcomes may depend on a number of factors—including but not limited to—patient characteristics, disease characteristics, and/or surgeon experience.
Da Vinci instruments and accessories
It is the responsibility of the owner of the da Vinci surgical system to properly train and supervise its personnel to ensure that the instruments and accessories are properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized as required by the user’s manual. Da Vinci products should not be used in a clinical setting unless the institution has verified that these products are properly processed in accordance with the da Vinci system user manual.
