What You Should Know:
– Qventus, a provider of AI-powered solutions for hospitals, has announced the AI Solution Factory at its inaugural client conference, QLive.
– The new initiative allows health system partners to co-develop custom AI Operational Assistants designed to solve pressing hospital challenges and deliver a sustained return on investment (ROI).
Optimizing Operational Efficiency
Hospitals today are facing immense financial pressure due to thinning margins, labor shortages, and declining reimbursements. With recent legislation expected to introduce an estimated one trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade, the financial strain is set to worsen. In response, many health system CIOs believe AI will have the biggest impact on operational efficiency and cost reduction, with improved margins being the primary metric for evaluating AI investments.
Core Platform Capabilities and New AI Assistants
The AI Solution Factory is powered by the Qventus platform, which integrates with hospital electronic health records (EHRs) and uses machine learning, behavioral science, and conversational AI to automate workflows. This platform equips Qventus’s AI assistants with several new skills:
- Chart Mining: Instantly reviews patient charts, extracts necessary data, and cites its sources.
- Continuous Risk Determination: Identifies and triages at-risk patients around the clock.
- Care Gap Orchestration: Evaluates patient care plans to identify and resolve gaps.
- Intelligent Document Management: Processes and routes communications like faxes and emails.
- Patient Concierge: Interacts with patients via voice, text, or email for tasks like scheduling appointments.
- Call Center Assistant: Prepares clinicians for calls and automates follow-up tasks.
These new skills allow the AI assistants to operate as “high-tech sidekicks” for staff, anticipating next steps and taking action to improve patient care and efficiency.
Inpatient Capacity Insights Capability
Inpatient solutions are also generating meaningful ROI. A western academic medical center reported a 15% decrease in mean excess days, nearly eight million dollars in total savings, and a 24% growth in discharge volume after deploying Qventus’s solution. The company has also launched Inpatient Capacity Insights, a new capability that identifies the highest-priority discharge opportunities in real time to accelerate patient flow.
Driving Strategic Surgical Volume and Inpatient Capacity
Qventus also shared recent client results for their surgical and inpatient solutions. Despite surgery being a primary revenue driver, over 30% of operating room (OR) time goes unused. Qventus’s perioperative solutions help health systems like Northwestern Medicine and Eisenhower Health drive strategic surgical volume and reduce cancellations. Across all clients in 2025, Qventus powered 135,000 block release hours, influenced 35,000 cases, and drove a 10x average annualized ROI. Northwestern Medicine, for example, created over 1,300 hours of monthly OR capacity and achieved a 15x annualized ROI.
“For more than a decade, we’ve focused on engineering AI solutions that deliver sustainable impact for health systems. The AI Solution Factory is a major milestone for Qventus, allowing us to rapidly build a new generation of solutions to solve critical problems,” said Mudit Garg, CEO and co-founder of Qventus. “Instead of chasing hundreds of AI use cases, our vision is to go deep on the ones that matter most. We find the problems that drive the best outcomes, then we build and operationalize AI solutions from the ground up to ensure they succeed. If our Qventus AI Platform is the engine, the AI Solution Factory is our high-speed assembly line—it gives us a systematic way to build best-in-class AI teammates, ensuring they are not just effective, but fully integrated into our clients’ daily operations for long-term success.”
