While efforts to address provider supply are necessary, maximizing the capacity of our current teams to provide care is essential. This requires systems and processes that optimize the combined resource capability (hospital/facility and anesthesia) for surgical and nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) care to achieve effectiveness and efficiency. While these efforts are aligned with hospital/facility goals and support the value proposition in anesthesia care delivery, in many cases, they will require significant operational management changes. This article explores ways to focus attention on improving the utilization of available anesthesia resources through thoughtful data-driven planning and management, thereby maximizing the overall capacity of anesthesia providers to be available for patient care in our current resource-restricted environment. Inefficient OR schedules frustrate health care providers and patients. Although efficiency will never reach 100%, it can be increased through standardizing clinical and...
