Hospital Operating Room Planning : analyzing strategies and problem settings

Operating room planning is a complex task which has to consider many aspects such as surgeon scheduling, operating team scheduling (included anaesthetic personnel), patient related information, (i.e. estimated operating time, priority and diagnosis), equipments and surrounding activities like intensive care unit etc. In this paper, we first introduce the problem as experienced from two hospitals of different types. Then, an optimization model is suggested and the generation of input-parameters is presented. Different scenarios are created and the result of using the optimization model is presented. Finally, conclusions and directions for future research are outlined.
