OR Manager

What OR Manager does

OR Manager, now operating under the Periop Leader Network brand, is a US-based, vertically specialized professional media platform serving perioperative healthcare leaders — the directors, managers, and executives who run operating rooms, surgical services, and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Founded in 1985 and headquartered at 9211 Corporate Blvd., 4th Floor, Rockville, Maryland, the business is owned by Access Intelligence, LLC, a privately held diversified B2B media company. Core technology is a digital content and eLearning platform: a WordPress-based media property feeding a CE-accredited Education Center (ceu.periopleader.com), a moderated Slack community (Periop Leaders Forum), and a job board (jobs.ormanager.com). The platform operates roughly 10 core personnel, leveraging parent-company shared services for production.

The product surface spans four interlocking pillars: (1) editorial — multiple recurring newsletters (Periop Pulse Mon/Wed/Fri, ASC Leader Tue/Thu, Critical Insights weekly, Careers weekly) plus curated content series (Leadership Series, AI Series, Disaster Preparedness, Preventing RSI, OR Manager Conference Poster Research); (2) education and community — the eLearning Center for CE certificates and quizzes, the Coaching Corner with Dr Phyllis Quinlan, the New Leader Toolkit, and the private Slack forum; (3) events — annual Periop Leader Week (October 4–7, 2026, Savannah, GA), the Transform Perioperative Operations Virtual Summit, ongoing webinars, and the Periop Leader Awards; and (4) recruitment and commerce — a Career Center job board (1,161 employers, 8,296 seeker profiles) and the Periop Leader Store (books, reports, eLearning courses).

Monetization is a multi-stream model. Periop Leader Plus is a free top-of-funnel tier; Periop Leader Insider is a paid subscription at $229/year conferring the monthly Executive Briefing, monthly CE credits, quarterly Ask the Experts sessions, a 20% conference discount, VIP Opening Reception access, and complimentary Innovation Hub passes. Additional revenue comes from employer job posting fees on the Career Center, advertising and partner content (sponsorships aimed at healthcare companies reaching perioperative leadership), conference and virtual summit registration and sponsorship, and e-commerce sales via the Periop Leader Store. Two primary customer segments are served in parallel: individual perioperative leaders (B2C-like subscription CE and intelligence) and healthcare employers — hospitals, ASCs, and integrated health systems — recruiting surgical, perioperative nursing, and anesthesiology talent.

Direct peers

• AORN (Association of periOperative Registered Nurses): The primary professional association for perioperative registered nurses, publishing guidelines (including the new AI integration guideline cited on PLN), running an annual conference, and offering CE. Directly serves PLN's core audience and is both a content reference partner and a potential substitute.
• Becker's Hospital Review: B2B healthcare leadership media platform combining newsletters, conferences (Becker's Healthcare events), and a job board for hospital and health system executives. Closely comparable business model and target buyer to OR Manager / Periop Leader Network.
• HealthLeaders Media: Multi-channel media brand for healthcare executives offering clinical and business intelligence, an online community, and editorial coverage. Directly analogous to PLN in serving healthcare decision-makers with subscription content and events.
• Outpatient Surgery Magazine: Trade publication and resource dedicated to ambulatory surgery center management, with editorial coverage, a best-practices library, and audience of OR and ASC leaders. Overlaps directly with PLN's ASC Leader newsletter and periop content tracks.
• HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society): Large healthcare IT professional community with paid membership, an annual conference (HIMSS Global), continuing education, and digital media properties. Closely analogous multi-product professional network model, scaled to a broader healthcare IT audience.
• ASCA (Ambulatory Surgery Center Association): Industry association for ASC operators offering advocacy, education, an annual conference, and member resources. Targets the exact ASC administrator and OR manager audience that PLN serves via its ASC Leader track.
• MedPage Today: Healthcare professional news and education platform combining clinical coverage, CME/CE, newsletters, and events. Comparable content-and-CE-driven professional media business model.
• ACHE (American College of Healthcare Executives): Professional society for healthcare executives with membership tiers, an annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership, continuing education, and the FACHE credential. Comparable community-plus-education-plus-events model serving healthcare leaders.
• Healthcare IT News: B2B media publication covering healthcare technology with newsletters, webinars, and events. Mirrors PLN's content-plus-events-plus-CE approach within an adjacent healthcare vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Modern Healthcare: Established B2B media brand covering the broader healthcare industry with news, events (Healthcare Leadership Summit), and awards. Overlaps with PLN on healthcare leader audience but at significantly broader scope and scale.
