Increase OR Utilization
Reduce Staff Overtime
Improve On-time First Starts
Grow Surgical Volume
Align Staffing Structure
Successfully managing and allocating operating room blocks, schedules, and staff is often a complex and financial challenge. Perioperative leaders must ensure adequate OR capacity and staff to meet surgical demand while also ensuring their ORs and staff don’t sit idle. But schedules, surgical block allocation and other critical resource decisions are made well in advance of actually booking cases. Therefore they run the risk that available resources will either fail to meet actual demand or will exceed it. And efforts to reallocate blocks or adjust staff schedules to appropriately align with patient demand are often met with resistance from surgeons and OR staff.
Hospital IQ is a data-driven operations management software platform that applies system-specific policies, machine learning and optimization algorithms to the hospital’s various perioperative data sources to help improve how the entire perioperative suite functions. By accurately forecasting OR usage and providing action-driven recommendations that improve block, OR, and staff utilization, as well as grow surgical volume, Hospital IQ’s Perioperative Solution helps perioperative leadership gain organization-wide trust in the data that drives their decisions and build strong governance and accountability frameworks across key stakeholders.
Capacity Management: Increase volume and improve utilization
Hospital IQ transforms the process behind managing the OR by analyzing past perioperative activity and trends, predicts future patterns and automatically recommends potential block and schedule changes for OR executive review.

Hospital IQ’s surgical planning capabilities creates a framework for accountability. For instance, I can work with departments to set the expectation that days with, say, less than 50% OR utilization require an explanation. In the past, it would take hours of work to compile this data. |
