Qventus, a leader in AI-driven care operations software, has introduced the industry’s first AI Operational Assistants. These innovative digital assistants are designed to help frontline staff focus on their core responsibilities by handling administrative tasks. The AI-powered assistants act as crucial partners to healthcare professionals, analyzing complex data in real-time, identifying operational inefficiencies, predicting patient needs, and taking targeted actions to streamline workflows.
Qventus introduces its AI Operational Assistants at a critical time when frontline healthcare workers are overwhelmed and underutilized. Clinicians often spend half their time on administrative tasks, leading to burnout and an estimated $13 billion in wasted costs annually. These inefficiencies result in frustrated patients and suboptimal care experiences. Developed with innovative health system partners such as Ardent Health, Allina Health, HonorHealth, and Northwestern Medicine, Qventus’ AI Operational Assistants aim to eliminate manual data collection and repetitive tasks. These assistants not only analyze data but also take action, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency.
“At its core, this capability enables healthcare teams to practice at the top of their license,” said Mudit Garg, Co-Founder and CEO of Qventus. “Our AI Operational Assistants empower frontline care teams by providing them with tools to focus on delivering exceptional care.”
The AI Operational Assistants are being integrated into Qventus’ Perioperative and Inpatient Solutions, with potential for significant impact on care team support and patient coordination. In Perioperative care, they streamline surgical and procedural processes by automating pre- and post-surgical tasks, reducing the risk of cancellations, decreasing manual burdens on care teams, and boosting productivity.
Kim Post, DNP, MBA, RN, EVP, Chief Operations Officer at HonorHealth, commented, “When Qventus invited us to be an innovation partner for their AI Operational Assistants, we eagerly accepted. Empowering clinicians to focus on patient care is a priority for us, and these AI-powered assistants will significantly reduce the administrative burden on our staff. We are excited to implement this technology and see the benefits as we strive to be the best place to work for clinicians.”
David Atashroo, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Qventus, added, “Fragmented surgical coordination is a significant challenge for health systems. Our AI Operational Assistants address real-time decision-making issues in surgical coordination, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and providing comprehensive audit trails for continuous improvement. This approach ensures sustainable progress and better patient outcomes.”
