UTSA is a regional health system employing more than 17,000 personnel across every specialty. As a public system, UTSA provides care to some of the region's lowest socioeconomic status patient populations, making reliable, efficient preoperative coordination essential to both patient outcomes and system sustainability.
Before Orchestra, UTSA faced persistent gaps in preoperative coordination. Last-minute cancellations created rework, delays, and lost revenue. Inefficient preop processes left OR utilization below where a system of this scale and complexity needed it to be.
Orchestra now serves as the backbone of all anesthesia and pain service lines at UTSA. Every patient is assessed and routed through Orchestra for risk stratification before a final determination is made on whether it's safe to proceed with surgery, giving care teams one reliable system for preoperative readiness instead of a patchwork of manual steps.
