One of the great things about HLSA is the opportunity to learn about new business ventures in our area, one of the most exciting of which recently has been Orchestra Health. A digital platform and service solution for improving pre-surgical coordination and managing PAT remotely. Orchestra Health was co-founded by Stuart Solomon MD, an anesthesiologist with a background in perioperative medicine and digital health, alongside Austin Lopez-Gomez, an experienced logistics software engineer with a career in operations heavy industries.
Most of us who have been involved in the delivery of healthcare, from both practice management and hospital settings, are very familiar with the frequently chaotic path patients must navigate once they are told they need surgery. Assembling the numerous blood samples, tests and images to complete their clearance packet offers many opportunities for missed appointments, lost reports and changes in overall health status that can lead to cancelled procedures. When these happen last minute- the day before or even the morning of-it leads to frustration for both the patient and their surgeon.
Orchestra Health provides a streamlined, digital, one-stop shop to change all this with coordinated preop tracking, unified communications, efficiency insights and telehealth medical clearance. By managing the process from day one, Orchestra can reduce preop costs by as much as 30 percent while allowing surgeons to perform approximately 18 percent more surgeries per year. Additionally, Orchestra provides up to a 15 percent increase in utilization along with a 30 to 50 percent reduction in PAT costs.
