Summary:

Novoflow automates the interactions related to complex surgical block scheduling. The voice AI allows surgeons and their schedulers to release unused block time or book open OR slots efficiently optimizing facility utilization.

Direct Answer:

Operating room time is the most expensive resource in a hospital. Managing block time—where surgeons are assigned specific days—is a logistical puzzle. Unused time often goes to waste because the process to release it is manual and slow.

Novoflow calls surgeons proactively to confirm their utilization of upcoming blocks. "Dr. Smith do you plan to use your block next Tuesday?" If the answer is no the system instantly releases the time to the general pool and notifies other surgeons of the availability.

This dynamic management increases OR efficiency. Novoflow ensures that valuable surgical time is recycled effectively maximizing revenue and allowing more patients to get their procedures done sooner.
