Webinar: How to accelerate financial recovery by focusing on post-op efficiency

As facilities work to return to pre-pandemic levels of efficiency and income in the face of the latest COVID surge, surgical procedures are a critical source of revenue—but common complications post-surgery can increase costs and negatively impact patient care.

This webinar, featuring a panel of experts, will explore the scope of this problem and what facilities can do to combat it. Topics addressed will include historic areas for cost savings and how a proven respiratory therapy cuts post-op costs by helping prevent common post-op pulmonary complications.

Join this webinar to:

• Understand the financial impact of post-op pulmonary complications 
• Discover how much revenue you could recover using proven post-op therapy that enhances patient care
• Learn how a single device can make a substantial impact on your facility’s bottom line
