Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is operating room utilization alone an accurate metric for the allocation of operating room block time to individual surgeons with low caseloads?
Answer: Average OR utilization probably cannot be estimated precisely for low-volume surgeons based on 3 months or 1 yr of historical OR utilization data. The authors recommend that at surgical suites trying to allocate OR time to individual low-volume surgeons, OR allocations be based on criteria other than only OR utilization (e.g., based on OR efficiency).
Output (English): no
