The New Capability Completes Administrative Tasks for Healthcare Staff, Driving up to a 50% Productivity Boost for Care Operations Roles
Qventus, the leading provider of AI-based software that automates care operations, launched the industry’s first AI Operational Assistants designed to empower frontline staff to work at the top of their license by completing administrative tasks for them. Serving as a vital partner to key healthcare staff, these AI-powered digital assistants bridge the data-to-action gap by analyzing complex healthcare data in real-time, identifying operational inefficiencies, predicting patient needs, and taking specific actions.
Qventus’ solution comes at a time when our frontline healthcare workers are overburdened and underleveraged. Clinicians spend half their valuable time on administrative tasks, causing burnout, limiting their impact and wasting an estimated $13 billion annually. These inefficiencies lead to frustrated patients and less than optimal care experiences. Developed in partnership with innovative health system partners, such as Ardent Health, Allina Health, HonorHealth, and Northwestern Medicine, to name a few, Qventus designed its AI Operational Assistants to support healthcare staff by eliminating inefficiencies from manual data collection and repetitive tasks. With the ability to listen, speak, read, write, understand, and interact with the world, these assistants do more than simply analyze data, they act on it.
“At its core, this capability enables health care 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 giving them the tools they need so they can focus on what they do best: providing exceptional care.”
Qventus is incorporating AI Operational Assistants into its existing Perioperative and Inpatient Solutions, and has identified additional areas where the technology can have a significant impact supporting care teams and improving patient coordination. Specifically for Perioperative care, AI Operational Assistants can streamline surgical and procedural care by automating various components of pre- and post-surgical coordination to help hospitals prevent surgery cancellations, reduce manual burden on care teams, and enhance productivity.

“When Qventus asked if HonorHealth wanted to be an innovation partner for their latest AI Operational Assistants, we jumped at the opportunity,” shared Kim Post, DNP, MBA, RN, EVP, Chief Operations Officer, HonorHealth. “Empowering clinicians to be able to focus on patient care is a top priority for HonorHealth, and Qventus’ AI-powered assistants will drastically reduce the administrative tasks that currently overburden our frontline staff. Our staff is incredibly excited to implement this technology and look forward to seeing the results as we continue towards our vision of becoming the best place to work for clinicians.”
“Fragmented surgical coordination is a critical clinical challenge for our health systems partners,” said David Atashroo, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Qventus. “Qventus’ advanced AI Operational Assistants tackle specific hurdles in surgical coordination, including those that require real-time decision-making. Our digital assistants go beyond simply identifying what needs to be done; they orchestrate the necessary next steps, ensure they’re completed efficiently, and provide comprehensive audit trails for ongoing improvement. This ensures sustainable progress for our health system partners and ultimately, better outcomes for patients.”
Qventus AI-powered solutions deliver powerful results
Qventus’ growing portfolio of solutions optimize patient flows and create best-in-class practices for patient care across Perioperative and Inpatient care teams. Some recent highlights include:
- Qventus launched its next generation Inpatient Solution, which predicts and automates discharge planning to increase bed capacity and improve care coordination. The Inpatient Solution saved OhioHealth hospitals nearly 1,400 excess days and approximately half a million dollars within the first month of deployment.
- Qventus released the results of 3 years of deployment of its Inpatient Solution with HonorHealth, in which 86 percent of patients received early discharge plans saving the health system over 50,000 excess days, leading to $62 million dollars saved.
- The Perioperative Solution, leveraged by Banner Health and other leading health systems, enhances surgical efficiencies by maximizing operating room access, increasing strategic case growth, and providing actionable, real-time insights. The solution increases case volume by 3-6 cases per OR per month, yielding an average 6X return on investment (up to 27X).
