Measured Financial and Waste Improvements

In this episode, Beth Steele, Chief Operating Officer at Owensboro Health, talks about two pressures shaping surgical services today: rising supply costs and recruiting and keeping the best talent. She shares how an AI partnership with AssistIQ helped by capturing supplies with 99 percent accuracy, cutting nearly half of monthly product waste and removing manual documentation for nurses. Beth also outlines the practices that made the rollout successful, including early staff involvement, clear workflows and close coordination with the vendor and internal teams.
