Achieve superior financial and clinical robotic program performance—streamlined, cost-effective, with measurable ROI

About us

CAVA Robotics International is the leader in da Vinci surgery program optimization and turn-arounds for US hospitals and IDNs. Our clients have discovered fist-hand the profound difference between a robotic program that achieves impressive economic and clinical results vs. one destined to struggle fiscally and operationally, even in the face of growing surgical volumes. Many hospital administrators incorrectly believe that da Vinci programs cannot be made cost-effective or sustainable. To these facilities, CAVA delivers a strong message: Your hospital’s robotic program can succeed and flourish, and we can get you there quickly. The key is recognizing that managing a multi-million dollar da Vinci robotic program requires a completely new level of data analytics, surgical insight, efficiency, teamwork, and management...insights not available through industry, and virtually unknown by the more than 2000 US hospitals with robotic programs. CAVA Robotics’ world-class team—comprised of health economists, robotic medical directors, and change management experts—delivers proprietary, online quantitative and qualitative analytics to diagnose a program’s deficiencies across 18 dimensions of performance. From there, CAVA customizes the most effective corrective pathway to move a struggling robotic program onto a trajectory of excellence, efficiency, surgeon and OR crew alignment, economic sustainability, ROI, and superior clinical outcomes, usually in just a few months. CAVA Robotics is led by CEO and applied health economist Josh Feldstein; Medical Director and robotic surgeon Herb Coussons, MD; and Medical Director and robotic surgeon Rick Low, MD.

  • Join CAVA Robotics! We are Seeking a Medical Director! About the job: CAVA Robotics International helps hospitals capture large robotic program cost savings while rapidly building a robotic program’s net margin, clinical quality, efficiency, and growth. Following an initial analysis of the status of a hospital program, CAVA Robotics utilizes peer-to-peer relationships to evaluate and educate clients. Experienced robotic surgeons work with newer low-volume surgeons through video analysis and in-person clinical feedback. We join program committee meetings providing guidance on robotic operational and clinical / quality best practice benchmarks. CAVA OR crew supports staff at CAVA client hospitals with efficiency training and variation reduction. Key Responsibilities: - Assessment of robotic surgeons and OR team members - Participation in client robotic surgery committee meetings - Present CAVA clinical and financial data analysis - Client education activities: clinical topics and journal review topics - Video case reviews Minimum Requirements: - Board certified in Urology, colorectal surgery, or General Surgery (with oncology experience) preferred - Minimum 1,000 robotic cases - At least three years of robotic experience on the Xi platform - Prior proctor experience - Performance metrics in top quartile based on comparison to Intuitive Surgical benchmarks - Strong ability to communicate / build relationships with peers and C-suite Nice to have: - Prior chair of a hospital robotic surgery committee - Practice at national top 10th percentile based on comparison to Intuitive Surgical benchmarks If you meet these qualifications and are excited about advancing healthcare through robotics, we want to hear from you!

  • Many still believe robotic surgery takes too long and costs too much when compared to laparoscopy. The fact is, in most cases robotics can and should be not only equal to, but better than lap surgery from the perspective of case times and costs. That’s a proven fact that surprises most administrators. In this revealing and practical webinar, you’ll gain insight into the status of your hospital’s robotic surgery program as well as how a Best Practice robotic program actually runs. Join former Medtronic robotic exec Peter Schommer, CAVA Robotics medical director Herb Coussons, MD, and yours truly in a three-part SpecialtyCare webinar series starting tomorrow May 7 entitled, "Master Class in Robotic Efficiency." 👉 Register: https://t.ly/Pu1f3 #roboticsurgery #roboticprogram #roboticsmasterclass #specialtycare #cavarobotics #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #MedicalTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalRobots #DigitalHealth #SurgicalInnovation #HealthTech #RoboticsInMedicine #SurgeonLife #FutureofSurgery #MedicalDevices #SurgicalAdvancements #HealthcareTech #RobotAssistedSurgery

  • Ask yourself these questions: ∙ Do you know the per-case cost of robotic surgery at your hospital? ∙ Do you know your robotic profit margin vs laparoscopic surgery at the case level? ∙ Is your leadership comfortable with the size of your robot fleet / do you feel pressure to acquire more robots? ∙ Do you know how many cases per year you’re running per robot? Do you know how many cases you should be able to perform annually per robot? ∙ How do you know / track the clinical quality of robotic surgery and the actual performance metrics of your robotic surgeons? ∙ Do you use data analytics? How? ∙ Do you have a robotic surgery steering committee? If so, does it follow best practices? If you can’t answer these questions – or if you don’t like your answers – you’re in the majority of all hospital administrators in the US! Join former Medtronic robotic exec Pete Schommer, CAVA Robotics Medical Director and robotic surgeon / educator Herb Coussons, MD, and myself in a three-part in a three-part SpecialtyCare webinar series beginning May 7 - June 20, 2024 entitled, "Master Class in Robotic Efficiency." 👉 Register: https://t.ly/Pu1f3 #roboticsurgery #roboticprogram #roboticsmasterclass #specialtycare #cavarobotics #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #MedicalTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalRobots #DigitalHealth #SurgicalInnovation #HealthTech #RoboticsInMedicine #SurgeonLife #FutureofSurgery #MedicalDevices #SurgicalAdvancements #HealthcareTech #RobotAssistedSurgery
