# What will AGI do for Elective Surgery Attrition?

## Overview

Surgical practices and hospital departments lose a significant portion of their elective surgery pipeline between the initial consultation and the operating room. This attrition occurs because patients must independently navigate a maze of medical clearances, lab tests, imaging, and insurance pre-authorizations. Clinic coordinators attempt to manage this pipeline manually by tracking missing documents across disparate portals and placing phone calls that frequently go to voicemail.

The friction remains embedded in the fragmentation of healthcare data and the passive architecture of Electronic Medical Records. Current scheduling tools wait for a human to input a completed clearance, offering no mechanism to actively chase down a primary care physician for a cardiology sign-off. When pre-operative checklists stall, patients experience heightened clinical anxiety and often abandon the procedure entirely rather than deciphering the administrative requirements.

Standard patient engagement software sends generic appointment reminders but cannot answer specific questions about fasting protocols, medication pauses, or out-of-pocket costs. This leaves profitable surgical slots abruptly unfilled and forces administrators to continuously overbook schedules or spend excessive marketing dollars to replace patients lost to preventable friction.
