Book excerpt: Evaluation of the performance of the operating room by the real time of room occupancyNakhli M.S., Kahloul M., Harrathi M.A., Chakroun A., Mhamdi S.Sahloul Hospital, Dept of Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care, Sousse, TunisiaBackground and Goal of Study: The operating room is the most cost consuming area of hospitals. However, it still suffers from the problem of non-optimized organization. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of our operating rooms by the real room occupancy time (RROT). We will also try to identify the main causes that could alter it and to study the problem of deprogramming. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective and observational study conducted in two operating rooms of different specialties during the month of August 2016. For the two studied rooms, a pre-established data sheet was filled during the days of scheduled activity. The parameters collected consist essentially of calculating total RROT and broken down into periods, room occupancy rate, room overflow rate, incidence and causes of non-compliance with the surgical program and causes of RROT alteration.Results and Discussion: The month of August included 23 days of programmed activities for the two studied rooms. The mean start time of the activity was 41.93 min / day u00b1 16.5. The mean overflow time was 11.51 min / day u00b1 26.26. The actual time of occupancy of the room was 246.56 min / day. This RROT corresponds to an average occupancy rate of 68.49% u00b1 28.19. The mean time lost per room and per day with a patient in the room was 13.54 min / day u00b1 19.7. On average 1.86 u00b1 1.24 acts are performed per room and per morning with a total of 86 interventions. The deprogramming rate is 30.64%. Its main causes are the overshoot of the vacation time offered to surgeons (36.84%), the emergencies (18.42%) and the non respect of the anesthesia instructions (15.78%).Conclusion(s): The occupancy rate in our structures is relatively acceptable but should not hide the need to optimize the use of available resources. Corrective actions should focus primarily on delayed start-up. Periodic reassessments ideally through computerized systems are essential.

New and innovative solutions are reported in this book. SIMULTECH 2014 received 167 submissions, from 45 countries, in all continents. After a double blind paper review performed by the Program Committee, 23% were accepted as full papers and thus selected for oral presentation. Additional papers were accepted as short papers and posters. A further selection was made after the Conference, based also on the assessment of presentation quality and audience interest, so that this book includes the extended and revised versions of the very best papers of SIMULTECH 2014. Commitment to high quality standards is a major concern of SIMULTECH that will be maintained in the next editions, considering not only the stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the quality of the program committee, keynote lectures, participation level and logistics.

Download or read book Evaluation of Robust Operating Room Schedules Considering Multiple Stakeholders written by Sebastian Rachuba and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating room (OR) schedules are regularly influenced by uncertain demands such as surgery durations or randomly arriving emergency patients. The performance of these schedules depend on the information about these uncertainties when designing the schedules. We focus on an offline operational planning level at which assignments of patients to days and rooms are made without focusing on the intra-day sequence. At this level a sufficient amount of time is to be reserved for every elective surgery. At the same time we observe that the performance of a given schedule influences several stakeholders' interests. We therefore combine the aspects uncertain planning parameters and multiple interests and investigate the performance of schedules for ORs using a dedicated robust multi-criteria optimization approach. We compute different schedules focusing on fluctuating surgery times, randomly arriving emergency demand, and different objectives. In order to evaluate the schedules' quality, we perform a simulation study and demonstrate to what extend robust schedules achieve the mentioned goals. The consequences of significant changes in assumptions about possible deviations in surgery times and how they affect the level of achievement of different objectives is investigated in a second step.
