The Nano Clinic in Arroyo Grande partnered with DEO.care to optimize its OR workflow. Using data-driven insights and process simulations, the team streamlined operations, shortened the OR day by an hour, cut overtime by 50%, and boosted staff satisfaction—all while maintaining patient-centric care.

In the U.S., Dr. Robert Sershon optimized efficiency in outpatient joint replacement by standardizing workflows, ensuring consistency, and safely scaling from one to two parallel ORs. His approach now enables 9–11 joint replacements per day while maintaining patient satisfaction, team well-being, and predictable case flow.

At Noorderhart Hospital in Belgium, Dr. Leirs applied lean principles to robot-assisted knee surgery, eliminating waste, standardizing workflows, and improving team communication. This approach enabled consistent results across rotating nursing teams and increased throughput to six surgeries per day, without compromising quality of care.

Rising demand for hip replacements and hospital pressures make OR efficiency critical. Prof. Dr. Corten and Dr. Vanbiervliet show how standardized workflows, optimized teams, and ergonomic tools enable high-volume anterior approach THA, up to 14 procedures a day, while improving outcomes, staff well-being, and costs.

Dr. Christophe Olyslaegers, Orthopedic Surgeon at GZA St. Augustinus in Belgium, shares how dedicated surgical teams, team-led initiatives, and standardized processes improve OR efficiency and collaboration. He also highlights the vital role of data in identifying improvements that save time and streamline workflows.
