Current OR utilization tools use a machine learning seasonality analysis to forecast block time utilization percentages. However, multiple surgeries can be scheduled within an individual block. Inaccurate duration forecasts result in surgeries being scheduled which take longer than expected and encroach into another surgeon's block time. Aion AI is an artificial intelligence algorithm that, by learning from a broad spectrum of healthcare data, generates more accurate and precise surgery duration forecasts in minutes. Accurately forecasting how long a surgery will take ensures that everyone's block time is respected.

Aion AI services implement application isolation and the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) Safe Harbor Deidentification Method to reduce risk as much as possible. Application isolation practices ensure that individual parts of Aion AI have the minimum network and data access required. By design, the Aion AI Web Service cannot access EMR data or stored predictive models. Aion AI adheres to the HIPAA Safe Harbor Deidentification Method (https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/de-identification/index.html#standard)by not storing protected health information (PHI).
