# Optimizing OR capacity starts with true OR intelligence

Maximizing case volume takes more than better math. Apella ensures scheduling and utilization are always built on the right data foundation.

## Scheduling based on incomplete data  ‍costs valuable OR time

When schedules rely solely on EHR data, inefficiency is baked in before the day even begins: documentation errors, limited granularity, delayed visibility. Apella replaces unreliable inputs with insights captured directly from the operating room.

## Enhance case scheduling accuracy

Build schedules on ground-truth, objective data. Apella combines ambient OR data with predictive models to deliver precise forecasts — even for more complex cases and turnovers.

- Case duration forecasting
- Turnover duration forecasting
- Case length accuracy auditing

## Automate scheduler coordination

Finding and filling unused OR time doesn't have to require endless back-and-forth. Apella streamlines how you identify, share, and fill capacity by automatically surfacing best-fit slots.

- Automated promotion and filling of unused OR capacity
- Case-matching with available times
