Abstract
Poor scheduling of cases can decrease operating room (OR) utilization. Optimal scheduling of patients for surgery has economic implications for anesthesia groups with relatively fixed costs (e.g. academic medical centers) or revenues (e.g. capitated marketplace), or because such circumstances profitability varies with OR utilization. We review results from the scientific literature showing how surgical services (operating room) infomation systems can increase OR utilization and anesthesia groups' profits.
