Scaling Robotic-Assisted Surgery Best Practices

Scaling Best Practices Throughout the OR

Sponsored by Intuitive

Hospitals today are focusing on achieving four goals: aligning lower costs, improved outcomes, a better patient experience and improved provider satisfaction. Sustainable robotic service lines with foundational structure, the right membership, and clear purpose can help achieve those Quadruple Aim goals.

Join AORN and Intuitive for a multi-part series of live and on-demand webinars that will provide key insights to help expand minimally invasive surgery and improve efficiencies throughout the OR to establish operational excellence.
