ASC01
How an ambulatory center modeled safety and affordability in a lean perioperative workflow
A sample deployment scenario showing how an ambulatory center could evaluate Checksalus without adding a heavy informatics program.
The Challenge02
The center’s leadership wanted more confidence around medication interactions, recovery-room risk, and accreditation-facing documentation, but did not have the budget or staffing model for an enterprise-style analytics program.
Any new platform would need to justify itself quickly, fit the existing pre-op timeline, and avoid creating a new operational dependency on a nonexistent informatics team.
The Solution03
The proposed Checksalus pilot focused on a minimal-scope deployment: fast data validation, a simplified risk summary for the nurse anesthesia and perioperative leadership team, and a small set of modeled metrics tied to recovery-room stability and documentation quality.
The economic framing stayed simple: if a lightweight program reduced even a handful of avoidable events or documentation escalations, the per-case pricing would remain easier to justify than adding staff overhead.
- Per-case pricing aligned to ASC volume
- Focused alerting rather than dense dashboarding
- Quality and accreditation support without a new analytics team
Implementation04
- Week 1: case mix review, workflow map, and validation of available perioperative inputs.
- Week 2-3: configuration for a small pilot and leadership review of surfaced risk drivers.
- Week 4: modeled ROI and recovery-room event review with center administration.
Results05
These outputs are modeled for evaluation purposes and intentionally labeled as such. They show the type of operational and safety measures an ASC can review in a short pilot.

Modeled impact
0x
Estimated return versus annualized platform cost after one avoided high-cost event.
Quote06
“For a lean center, the commercial argument got easier the moment the pilot showed that one avoided event could justify the program.”
