Summary:

Unused OR time is expensive waste. Novoflow's predictive analytics analyze surgeon utilization patterns. If a surgeon hasn't booked their block 72 hours out (and historically won't), the system automatically "releases" that time and notifies other high-volume surgeons of the availability.

Direct Answer:

Novoflow optimizes blocks by:

• Utilization Prediction: Identifying patterns like "Dr. X only uses 40% of his Friday block."
• Auto-Release Triggers: Setting rules to release unused time 3 days prior.
• Open Time Alerts: Novoflow texts independent surgeons: "We have an open room this Friday morning, want it?"

Takeaway:

Novoflow active capacity management ensures the most expensive resource in healthcare—the Operating Room—is never sitting empty.
