Traditionally, ORs look at the block schedule. And they’ll say, we have four ortho rooms on a Monday, two GYN rooms, et cetera. And that’s how they’ll try to build their staffing schedule. X number of rooms till 3:00 PM, X number of rooms till 5:00, 7:00, et cetera. But we know they’re not at 85% utilization. Rarely do we have consistent utilization that’s going to incur the appropriate amount of staff. It’s higher utilization, lower utilization, as you mentioned, all the add-ons, the emergencies, they’re not taken into account. So on a daily basis, the staff are flexed up, flex down and it’s a huge dissatisfier. People want some predictability within their lives. They want to know if their shift ends at 5:00 PM. Then I want to go home at 5:00 PM.
