Anesthesiologists can use the science of clinic scheduling to design appointment systems for preanesthesia evaluation clinics. The principal reasons reported for inappropriately [or arguably unethically] long patient waiting times are provider tardiness, lack of patient punctuality, patient no-shows, and improperly designed appointment systems.

متن کاملLocal Search for the Patient Admission Scheduling Problem under Uncertainty
We propose an extension of the Patient Admission Scheduling (PAS) problem that includes, among others, uncertainty in arrival times and stay lengths. We propose the use of a Simulated Annealing approach for both the longand short-term versions of the new problem, along the lines of the one employed successfully for the original PAS problem in [2]. 1 The Patient Admission Scheduling Problem The ...
