The Problem
Scheduling your OR costs more than you think.
in scheduling stipends — physicians and CRNAs building schedules, up to 20 hrs at a high clinical hourly rate
annual salary for a dedicated anesthesia scheduler — a full-time hire to do what one button handles
total annual cost of schedule management — half to three full CRNA salaries, depending on group size
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hit "Allocate Staff"
Every constraint evaluated simultaneously. A compliant, optimized schedule returns in seconds. Coverage gaps surface immediately — before the first case begins.
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.

Schedule a DemoThe 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.
The algorithm runs against today’s cases and staff. Every room assigned, every gap identified in seconds.
Leadership knows exactly which rooms are at risk, at which sites, and why — no phone calls to piece it together.
Talk to hospital or surgery-center leadership about consolidating rooms, pushing cases, or trimming the slate — on your terms, not in crisis mode.
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.

Who We Are
Built by someone who lived this problem.

Braden Clark
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 Newell
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.
