Erlanger selects Qventus AI to drive strategic surgical growth and maximize OR utilization

Erlanger, a multi-hospital health system, faced operational inefficiencies that prevented staff from maximizing OR capacity and delayed needed surgeries. Outdated technology made it nearly impossible to fully utilize specialists, staff, OR space, and robotic assets. The standard 'first-come, first-served' booking approach left high-value cases and robotic investments underutilized.

Erlanger selected Qventus' Surgical Growth Solution, an AI system that learns surgeon preferences and behavior patterns to intelligently match open OR slots with the right specialists. The platform eliminates inefficient scheduling by prioritizing high-value cases and ensuring robotic assets are fully utilized, while reducing administrative burden on clinic schedulers and surgeons.

The partnership was announced in June 2025 with goals to grow strategic surgical service lines, increase robotic asset utilization, and become a destination of choice for patients. Qventus' Surgical Growth Solution has delivered 11x ROI for health systems, with comparable deployments at other health systems showing significant surgical volume growth. A related blog post references Erlanger adding 220 surgical cases per month.

• AI that learns surgeon behavior patterns can replace inefficient first-come-first-served OR scheduling with intelligent, preference-aware matching
• Maximizing robotic asset utilization requires purpose-built AI, not generic scheduling tools
• Reducing administrative burden on clinical staff enables focus on patient care while simultaneously growing surgical volume
