Leader Exchange: Transforming Perioperative Staffing Practices
Modernizing Perioperative Staffing: A Data-Driven Approach to Boost Efficiency and Morale
This panel webinar explores the journey of Baptist Medical Center Beaches in modernizing their perioperative staffing practices. Historically, scheduling was a complex and time-consuming task, impacting operational efficiency and staff satisfaction. Driven by rising case volume variability and staffing shortages, leaders transitioned from manual planning to a transparent, data-driven process. Hear first-hand accounts from clinical and administrative leaders about engaging frontline staff, overcoming initial skepticism, and the early impact on workflow and team morale. The discussion focuses on practical process changes and sustainable culture shifts that other surgical services leaders can apply.
