AI-generated reminders are automatically sent to surgeons' office staff weeks in advance, nudging them to help fill surgeons’ time in the OR. These reminders are deeply integrated with OR scheduling, and office staff can directly release OR time if a surgeon doesn’t plan to use it.

The interactive OR Marketplace allows surgeons and staff to browse and request OR time as it becomes available. Marketplace notifications can also automatically notify staff when time opens on the schedule.

Engage surgeon offices with easy access to tools that allow them to view, request, and manage OR time. EpicCare Link is Epic's web-based portal that allows you to give independent surgeon offices secure access to patient information and Epic workflows.

Expected procedure lengths are calculated and shown to surgeons or their staff, alongside a confidence score, to help staff determine whether to adjust the case length for greater accuracy. Precise scheduling minimizes overages, improves staff satisfaction, and includes built-in analytics to track estimate accuracy.

Dashboards and reports help OR managers analyze utilization and efficiency in the OR. Block owners stay informed on how well they're managing time via monthly in-system notifications or emails. Additionally, make quicker block decisions during meetings using metrics such as unused gap times and automated block allocation suggestions based on utilization metrics.
