An exact approach for relating recovering surgical patient workload to the master surgical schedule
No other department influences the workload of a hospital more than the Department of Surgery and in particular, the activities in the operating room. These activities are governed by the master surgical schedule (MSS), which states which patient types receive surgery on which day. In this paper we describe an analytical approach to project the workload for downstream departments based on this ...
متن کاملAn analytical model based on simulation aiming to improve patient flow in a hospital surgical suite
Surgical suits allocate a large amount of expenses to hospitals; on the other hand, they constitute a huge part of hospital revenues. Patient flow optimization in a surgical suite by omitting or reducing bottlenecks which cause loss of time is one of the key solutions in minimizing the patients’ length of stay[1] (LOS) in the system, lowering the expenses, increasing efficiency, and also enhanc...
متن کاملA pre-assignment heuristic algorithm for the Master Surgical Schedule Problem (MSSP)
In this paper a 0–1 linear programming model and a solution heuristic algorithm are developed in order to solve the so-called Master Surgical Schedule Problem (MSSP). Given a hospital department made up of different surgical units (i.e. wards) sharing a given number of Operating Rooms (ORs), the problem herein addressed is determining the assignment among wards and ORs during a given planning h...
متن کاملMentoring for surgical skills: a tool to share the workload.
© 2007 Association médicale canadienne R ecently, concern has been expressed that Canada’s current system for treating patients needing surgery is not sustainable in the long run. It has been suggested that the number of surgeons be increased or that nonphysician care providers be recruited to take on some responsibilities so that the efficiency with which the care is delivered can be improved....
متن کاملA Fuzzy FMEA Approach to Prioritizing Surgical Cancellation Factors
Background and Objectives: Surgical cancelation is a significant source of time and resource waste, patient safety risk, and stress for patients and their families. In this study, a risk management-based approach is developed to prioritize factors contributing to surgical cancellation. Methods: Factors leading to surgical cancellation were comprehensively classified based on literature review...
