Last week, the AssistIQ GTM team attended the OR Business Management Summit. It was an incredible few days of meaningful conversations, new connections, and valuable time with our partners. One of my biggest highlights was seeing our partners from ProMedica, Thad (Wadsworth Thadius) and Shannon Holley, take the stage to share their “why” for AssistIQ and lessons learned from implementation. If you have not watched the session yet, it is worth your time. A key takeaway for me came from Thad: if your goal is optimizing OR contribution margin, the number one place to look is supply spend and revenue capture. ProMedica demonstrated true speed to value, achieving a 28% net revenue increase within just a few months. At the same time, they removed manual work for clinicians and gained visibility into non-contracted supplies that were previously invisible. This work is foundational. It is not about adding one more case to the schedule. It is about having holistic visibility into the second largest hospital cost driver, supplies and implants, while giving clinicians time back and leadership data they can act on. We also appreciated time with Christopher Kuehn, MBA and the broader Northwell team, continuing important conversations around the operational and financial improvements we can drive together. AssistIQ investors Brandon Gleklen and Christie Currie joined us as well, connecting directly with providers about their biggest pain points and how they are thinking about AI. The consistent theme was clear: health systems need trusted, accurate data. Computer vision and AI are the only proven way to achieve that at near-perfect accuracy. We also received phenomenal feedback on AssistIQ’s Epic integration, which is cutting hours of manual work daily across multiple teams. Beyond the sessions, it was energizing to reconnect with technology collaborators working to move the industry forward together. If you want to hear directly from ProMedica’s leadership, the full panel discussion is linked in the comments. #ORBusinessManagement #HealthcareInnovation #OperatingRoom #HealthSystemLeadership #AssistIQ
"This work is foundational. It is not about adding one more case to the schedule.

Keep doing all the amazing things Lisa Israelovitch!
Always great seeing you!
This is a great example of where AI creates value when it is tied directly to operations. The point about visibility into supply spend is interesting. In a lot of systems, the biggest gains come from surfacing what was already happening but hidden in the workflow. What stands out is the speed to value. When you can show measurable impact in weeks, it changes how teams think about adoption and investment. Feels like healthcare is one of those spaces where precision and workflow integration matter more than anything else. When those align, the impact compounds quickly.
So good to see you all in my backyard! Such a good panel discussion I hope everyone takes the time to watch. https://lnkd.in/eW7nhEfK
