August SAMBA and Synera Systems Webinar: AI for Smarter Ambulatory Surgery: Transforming Pre-Op and Post-Op Care

Wednesday, August 19, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (EDT)

* Registration open until 8/19/26 at 7:00 PM (EDT)

A practical look at how AI can already help ambulatory surgery centers, from tools physicians can use today, to systems that reduce cancellations and improve post-discharge follow-up.

Learning objectives:
1. Identify practical, non-technical AI tools anesthesiologists and ASC administrators can use immediately to reduce after-hours administrative work.
2. Describe how AI-driven pre-operative can reduce same-day cancellations caused by incomplete or outdated patient information.
3. Explain how automated post-discharge follow-up can reduce avoidable patient calls and support earlier identification of true post-operative complications.
