Since 2000 the annual growth in robotic assisted surgery has increased tremendously. Between 2009 – 2014 the number of procedures performed on the da Vinci platform from Intuitive Surgical has tripled from approximately 40,000 to 120,000[1]. It is not just the number of procedures that is growing, but also the […]

For example, it’s been shown that hospitals without a formal Robotics Program are associated with 46% more complications and 37% greater costs compared to hospitals with a formal program. *Based on the results of an analysis of 10 facilities in 2014 (unpublished). Data is risk adjusted and benchmarked compared to […]

Hospitals which learn how to implement a Robotics Program can potentially realize a 32% reduction in complications and a 27% reduction in costs. *Based on the results of an analysis of 10 facilities in 2014 (unpublished). Data is risk adjusted and benchmarked compared to select data in the Premier database.

For example, The Robotics Program is associated with 27% fewer complications and 32% lower costs and it can return a greater margin to your organization and better quality of care for your patients. Based on the following assumptions: Full program implementation, average of $2000 margin per case and 27% reduction in costs.
