Accuracy of Orthopedic Surgeons Versus Electronic Health Record in Prediction of Operating Room Times

Although performance varied, the EHR appears to more accurately predict operating time compared to surgeons. Notably, surgeons tend to underestimate operating time. These findings support the use of the EHR when scheduling cases to improve efficiency and maximize OR use.
