By taking this approach, we are able to help businesses increase productivity and ingenuity among its workforce – exponentially. We are essentially applying technology to human ingenuity.

After almost a decade of recovering data for virtual platforms, I have seen a steady increase in computer virtualization.

No matter how you calculate your operating room utilization, if it’s less than 80 percent, there’s room for improvement. Even if you’re happy with your utilization as a metric, you know you have several problems: New surgeons can’t get block time, block owners resist changes, nurses and anesthesiologists want more predictable schedules, and your management wants more efficiency. So even if your numbers look good, they can always get better.
