Fujitsu’s quantum-inspired computing helps uncover additional OR capacity

Adam Ang September 18, 2023

Fujitsu is introducing a new surgical capacity optimization solution that utilizes quantum-inspired computing. This solution aids in finding more operating room time to facilitate a higher case volume. By using historical and projected surgery scheduling data, it identifies new potential operating hours. In US trials, it increased available prime-time minutes by 37% over three months. This technology could revolutionize OR schedules, improving both hospital outcomes and patient care.
