This book was released on 1981 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines various scheduling systems in order to determine which scheduling system would be best for scheduling operating room usage at Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii. It is concluded that the optimum solution to the problem of determining the best operating room scheduling system at Tripler is to computerize the scheduling system. As delineated in the discussion, the abundance of advantages favor a computerized scheduling system. A computerized system is the only solution that meets all of the criteria discussed earlier in this study. Even its disadvantages can be surmounted. There are no current resource constraints to developing, implementing, and using a computerized system.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1982, it was announced that a Tri-Service Medical Information Systems (TRIMIS) Hospital Information System (HIS) was to be installed at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, El Paso, Texas, as well as at a USAF Regional Hospital Information, and a Naval Regional Medical Center. This study focuses on Beaumont where all inpatient and outpatient activities were to be integrated into the system - one which would serve as a communications network, patient data collection system, and an administrative data system. The proposed system, however, did not include scheduling software for the facility's operating room. The author set up an automated operating room scheduling system utilizing a TRS80 microcomputer, and showed that numerous manhours could be saved in the preparation of daily operating room schedules, the register of operations, and the monthly statistical report. He recommended that the TRIMIS HIS proposal be modified to include the Operating Room Service System. Keywords: Health care, Automated operating room scheduling system; Medical services. (SDW).

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of reengineering operating room case scheduling at Madigan Army Medical Center. The goal of the reengineering initiative was to reduce the variations leading to inefficiency, thereby improving the processes and allowing for increased throughput in the operating room complex. Five variables, operating room turn over time, surgeon time, surgical cancellations, surgical referrals, and surgical backlog were analyzed. Data collection occurred in two phases. The first phase was retrospective and consisted of the time period from June 1, 1997 through August 31, 1997. The second phase was concurrent with the implementation of the reengineering initiative and consisted of the period September 1, 1997 through November 30, 1997. Independent-samples t tests indicated no significant differences (p=.O 1) in the variables after implementation of the reengineering initiative. Decreased variations were seen in three of the variables: operating room turn over time, surgeon time, and surgical cancellations. The results of this study indicate improvements in the operating room complex were realized after implementing the reengineering initiative.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent changes in the American healthcare system, it is becoming increasinglychallenging for hospitals to produce a positive bottom line. The operating room presents itself with astrong potential for helping hospitals bring in revenue. However, in order to be profitable, operatingrooms must schedule cases in such a way that optimizes utilization and pleases all stakeholders.Stakeholders include physicians, patients, staff, and hospital administrators. Clearly with so manystakeholders whom have a variety of preferences, this scheduling process can be very challenging. Whilethere has been previous research on this topic, there are still conflicting views on which schedulingmethod is optimal. This study aims to explore several methods of scheduling cases in the operating room,and determine which method is most beneficial to a hospital. This research utilizes MATLAB to run acomputer simulation, which models an operating room and the arrival of surgical cases. Performancemeasures are then used to compare the simulated schedules.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current healthcare environment, the cost of delivering patient care is an important concern for hospitals. As a result, healthcare organizations are being driven to maximize their existing resources, both in terms of infrastructure and human capital. Using a data-driven approach with analytical techniques from operations management can contribute towards this goal. More specifically, this thesis shows, drawing from a recent project at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), that predictive modeling can be applied to operating room (OR) scheduling in order to effectively increase capacity. By examining the current usage of the existing block schedule system at BIDMC and developing a linear regression model, OR time that is expected to go unused can be instead identified in advance and freed for use. Sample model results show that it is expected to be operationally effective by capturing a large enough portion of OR time for a pooled set of blocks to be useful for advanced scheduling purposes. This analytically determined free time represents an improvement in how the current block system is employed, especially in terms of the nominal block release time. This thesis makes the argument that such a model can integrate into a scheduling system with more efficient and flexible processes, ultimately resulting in more effective usage of existing resources.

Download or read book Improve Operating Room Utilization Through Distributed Scheduling Workflow and Automation written by Miteshkumar Mahendrabhai Vasoya and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating room (OR) plays a crucial role in health care, contributing more than 50% of the hospital's revenue and incurring over 35% of the hospital's expense, ultimately determining the hospital's profitability. Moreover, because the OR is a primary source of admissions, it is virtually impossible to streamline hospital‐wide workflow without first streamlining patient flow through the OR. Unfortunately, current OR scheduling practices often limit the utilization of OR, one of the most expensive resources in the health care industry, to around 60%. On the other hand, many patients have to wait an excessively long time before their surgeries can be accommodated while the operating room goes unused. This also results in costlier healthcare services. For instance, a 2005 study of 100 US hospitals found that OR charges averaged $62/min (range: $22 to133/min). In this thesis research, I have proposed, developed and validated an effective and practical solution to improve utilization of operating room through a novel scheduling automation system, with a particular emphasis on how it will affect the real users (like a surgeon, nurse, administrators, and etc) in the workflow. Our goal is to develop a OR scheduling system that demands minimal changes in the current workflow in clinic practices and maximize its acceptance and retention by a physician, nurse, administrator, scheduler, medical device distributors, etc. A theoretic study through stochastic modeling and queueing system simulations are first carried out to validate our central hypothesis and the corresponding potential performance gain in OR utilization when using our approach. Then, we complete the system architecture design that helps overcome the practical hassle and achieve the performance gain through a mobile device -enabled distributed scheduling workflow and a data-analytics based scheduling automation that facilitate our proposed scheduling practices. Finally, a fully-fledged scheduling system has been completed for potential adoption in real-world operation. OR datasets from a local hospital have been used to validate the performance of the scheduling system. The results demonstrated clearly the significant improvement in OR utilization and cost reduction. Moreover, physicians who participated in the initial trial and review have expressed clear acceptance of this OR scheduling system as it greatly simplifies the current scheduling workflow. As a result, we believe that the broad adoption of this novel scheduling system will lead to significant improvement of OR utilization of over 30%, which will ultimately improve the overall workflow efficiency and increase revenue in hospitals and improve the care quality for patients.
