Apella is a technology company that leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence, computer vision, and predictive modeling to help healthcare providers utilize their operating rooms more effectively. The company offers a suite of tools designed to increase utilization, improve efficiency, and maintain quality.

One of the key features of Apella's technology is its predictive scheduling tools. These tools use advanced algorithms to provide accurate case durations and highlight underutilized OR time, enabling hospitals to proactively optimize their OR schedules and increase case volume. For instance, Apella's technology identified and allocated 500 new hours of block time within the orthopedic surgery department at a leading academic medical center.

In addition to predictive scheduling, Apella offers real-time management tools that provide a live view into operating rooms. These tools help orchestrate the flow of resources throughout the OR, improving efficiency and reducing turnover times. In one case, Apella's technology helped a multi-specialty community-based hospital reduce turnover times by 15%.

Apella also provides targeted insights for process improvement. These insights identify areas for improvement in quality processes that are often unmeasured. For example, Apella's terminal cleaning evaluation identified that 38% of terminal cleans were missed over a three-month period at a multi-specialty, community-based hospital. Furthermore, it was found that OR lights were only cleaned 61% of the time, and cleaning under OR pads took place 31% of the time.

Apella's technology offers a comprehensive solution for operating room management, helping hospitals increase utilization, improve efficiency, and maintain quality through the use of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and predictive modeling.
