Where operating room time is lost
Operating rooms are the most expensive rooms in the hospital, and the time they lose goes missing in three places. Most teams can name the problem and cannot price it, because the times are recorded after the fact and never measured against what anyone expected.
- First case
- Case
- Turnover

Each interval runs long and nobody sees it until the report.

They compound in the order they happen. A late first case makes every turnover matter more, and a slow turnover leaves less room for a case that runs long.
The day starts late
A first case that starts late pushes every case behind it, and the room never makes the time back. Pre-Op readiness, anesthesia and surgeon sign-in each have an owner and a time they were expected by. Sign-in and First Case on-time Start
The room sits empty
Turnaround is recorded in every hospital and managed in almost none. Your EMR writes the timestamps down; it does not measure them against what they should have been, or show them while the room is still empty. Turnaround Time
The case runs long
Five intervals per case and a turnaround between each one: 210 surgical metrics to manage in a day. At roughly $47 a minute, the minutes lost inside cases are the largest number nobody has. Operating Room Efficiency
What all three need
The same three things, whichever problem you start with: an expectation agreed before the case, a role that owns each interval, and the minutes priced so the result survives a budget conversation. One platform does all three, in every room, while the day is running.
