The Problem

Scheduling your OR costs more than you think.

Up to $0/day

in scheduling stipends — physicians and CRNAs building schedules, up to 20 hrs at a high clinical hourly rate

$0–100K

annual salary for a dedicated anesthesia scheduler — a full-time hire to do what one button handles

$0–600K

total annual cost of schedule management — half to three full CRNA salaries, depending on group size

0 hours

to build and finalize a single day's schedule for the next day

The hidden costs are worse

  • Coverage gaps discovered too late — last-minute locum fees, overtime paid to fill holes, and OR downtime from staffing mismatches.
  • Every hour a physician or CRNA spends scheduling is an hour of clinical capacity — and billable time — lost to administrative work.
  • Human error is unavoidable at scale: credentials missed, preferences ignored, travel time unaccounted for — and every mistake ripples through the day.

The human cost

Chief CRNAs and anesthesiologists burn out carrying this load week after week — and providers cite inefficient scheduling as a top reason for leaving their groups.

I was a chief CRNA scheduling 300 providers across 23 hospitals and surgery centers in Austin, TX. My team spent 12 hours a day on this. I knew there had to be a better way.

The Solution

One button. Everything staffed.

Built in Seconds

Instant Schedule Generation

Load your staff data and today’s case list. Hit "Allocate Staff." A complete, constraint-compliant schedule is built in seconds — not hours. Every room covered, every provider placed.

Right Room, Right Provider

Smart Provider Matching

Each provider is matched to their ideal room based on credentials, shift and pecking-order duration, home-hospital preference, and travel time. Shift workers get home faster. Pecking-order groups run efficiently.

You Stay in Control

Human Override, Always Available

Pre-place a provider in a room you know they’re great for. Schedule a request case manually. Set any preference you want — then hit allocate. ORchestrate builds the rest around your inputs.

Improves Over Time

Built to Get Smarter

Every schedule generated and every manual override is stored as structured data. This growing record of how your group actually staffs is the foundation for future models purpose-built for your patterns (on our roadmap).

How It Works

ORchestrate starts your day.

Your board runner’s judgment, rendered as code — and it plugs into the tools you already run.

01

Staff data loaded

Available providers, credentials, preferred home hospital, shift hours, and pecking-order details entered once — updated as your roster changes. Import directly from Qgenda, upload an Excel spreadsheet, or build and manage your roster natively inside ORchestrate.

QgendaExcelORchestrate Native
02

The day's case list ingested

Cases per room, per facility — with expected duration and site-specific requirements. Imported from Medaxion, OR Control, EPIC, and more, or entered directly into ORchestrate.

MedaxionOR ControlEPIC
03

Set any preferences (optional)

Pre-schedule a requested case. Place a strong provider in a specific room. Lock in anything you want — the algorithm builds the rest around it.

04

Hit "Allocate Staff"

Every constraint evaluated simultaneously. A compliant, optimized schedule returns in seconds. Coverage gaps surface immediately — before the first case begins.

05

Your data, stored for what's next

Every manual move and override is recorded as structured data. Over time this builds a detailed picture of how your group actually staffs — a dataset we’ll use to develop future scheduling models tailored to your group.

Smart Matching

The right provider in the right room.

Whether your group runs shift workers, a pecking order, or a mix of both, ORchestrate finds the optimal room assignment for every provider — weighing every variable simultaneously so no one has to.

The Morning Advantage

Know your gaps before the first case starts.

The moment you hit allocate, coverage gaps surface. No more afternoon scrambles — your group has the information early, and with information comes leverage.

07:00
Schedule generated instantly

The algorithm runs against today’s cases and staff. Every room assigned, every gap identified in seconds.

07:15
Coverage shortfalls visible

Leadership knows exactly which rooms are at risk, at which sites, and why — no phone calls to piece it together.

07:30
Strategic conversations begin

Talk to hospital or surgery-center leadership about consolidating rooms, pushing cases, or trimming the slate — on your terms, not in crisis mode.

08:00
Decisions made deliberately

Call-ins authorized on purpose. OT and locums avoided where possible. Excess coverage at one site redeployed to sites that need it. The group is in control.

With information comes leverage.

Your Data, Working For You

Your data tracks everything.

ORchestrate starts your day. It also tracks it — turning every schedule into an evidence engine for negotiation, dispute resolution, growth, and reclaimed leadership time.

Negotiate Smarter

Contract leverage, backed by facts

How many days has your group covered above the contracted room count? ORchestrate tracks every one. When you need to hold the line on a tough day, show hospitals exactly how flexible you’ve been — and ask for the same in return.

Silence Surgeon Complaints

Flip rooms? We’ve got the receipts

Ortho surgeon claiming they "never get a flip room"? Pull the data. ORchestrate tracks every assignment, every room flip, every day — accurate historical records instead of your word against theirs.

Grow Your Practice

Expand with confidence, not guesswork

Negotiating a new site contract? ORchestrate models how many additional providers you’d need to staff it. Present real staffing-efficiency metrics and make acquisition decisions on hard numbers — not gut feel.

Free Your Leaders

Reclaim hours for what matters

When your chief CRNA or chief anesthesiologist isn’t building schedules, they’re recruiting providers, planning staff events, tackling billing — or back in a room delivering care. One button replaces their biggest daily time drain.

No rip-and-replace. No starting from scratch. Whether your group runs a sophisticated platform or is still on a whiteboard, ORchestrate meets you where you are.

Braden Clark

Chief CRNA · Co-Founder · Austin, TX

Braden is a chief CRNA managing scheduling across 23 hospitals and surgery centers in the Austin metro — overseeing 300 anesthesia providers daily. Every pain point ORchestrate solves is one he lived firsthand: the scheduling stipend, the 12-hour days, the burnt-out chiefs, the providers citing travel as a reason for leaving. This isn’t a software company that read a whitepaper about anesthesia — this is someone who did the job.

ORchestrate freed me from scheduling so I could focus on recruiting, building team culture, and doing the work I actually love — being in the OR.

Mitch is a full-stack engineer who built the entire ORchestrate platform from scratch — front-end, back-end, data integrations, and the scheduling algorithm. When you have an issue with ORchestrate, it goes directly to Mitch — not a third-party support queue.

There’s no ticket system. No triage. Problems come straight to us and get fixed immediately. That’s not a marketing line — that’s just how we run the company.

Braden and Mitch were fraternity brothers at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. They each ended up in Austin independently — Braden for his career in anesthesia, Mitch for software. They reconnected, Braden described the scheduling problem, and ORchestrate was born.
