Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to determine the optimum method of scheduling surgery to make maximum use of the surgical facilities at Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center. Current scheduling methods were assessed. Other Army medical facilities were surveyed to establish alternative methods of scheduling and compare use rates. A need for an improved method of surgery scheduling was established. The author recommended a central surgery scheduling office.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With health-care costs rising and an aging population, the health-care industry is progressively faced with the problem of growing demand and diminishing reimbursements. Hospital administration is often faced with a lack of quantifiable data regarding surgical suite capacity and the impact of adding new surgical procedures. With the inherent variation in surgery due to unique procedures and patients, accurately measuring maximum capacity in the surgical suite through mathematical models is difficult to do without making simplifying assumptions. Several hospitals calculate their operating room (OR) efficiencies by comparing total OR time available to total surgical time used. This metric fails to account for the required non-value added tasks between surgeries and the balance necessary for patients to arrive at the OR as soon as possible without compromising patient satisfaction. Since surgical suites are the financial engine for many hospitals and the decisions made with regard to the surgical suite can significantly impact a hospital's success, this thesis develops a methodology through simulation to more accurately define current and potential capacity levels within the surgical suite. Additionally, scheduling policies, which schedule patients based on the variability of their surgical time as well as the implementation of flexible ORs capable of servicing multiple operation genres, are examined for individual and interaction effects with regard to surgical suite capacity, patient waiting times, and resource utilization. Through verification and validation, the model is shown to be an effective tool in representing patient flow and testing policies and procedures within the surgical suite. An application to the surgical suite at Chenango Memorial Hospital (Norwich, NY) illustrates the methodology and potential impacts of this research"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider the problem of minimizing daily expected resource usage and overtime costs across multiple parallel resources such as anesthesiologists and operating rooms, which are used to conduct a variety of surgical procedures at large multi-specialty hospitals. To address this problem, we develop a two-stage mixed-integer stochastic dynamic programming model with recourse. The first stage allocates these resources across multiple surgeries with uncertain durations and prescribes the sequence of surgeries to these resources. The second stage determines actual start times to surgeries based on realized durations of preceding surgeries and assigns overtime to resources to ensure all surgeries are completed using the allocation and sequence determined in the first stage. We develop a data driven robust optimization method that solves large-scale real-sized versions of this model close to optimality. We validate and implement this model as a decision support system at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center. This system effectively incorporates the flexibility in the resources and uncertainty in surgical durations, and explicitly trades off resource usage and overtime costs. This has increased the average daily utilization of the anesthesiologists by 3.5% and of the operating rooms by 3.8%. This has led to an average daily cost savings of around 7% or estimated to be $2.2 million on an annual basis. In addition, the insights based on this model have significantly influenced decision making at the operating services department at this hospital.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract We have created a set of decision support tools to streamline the surgical case scheduling process by allowing surgical wait list cases (elective cases that cannot be assigned a slot on the operating room schedule at the time of booking) to be confirmed onto the operating room schedule up to three weeks in advance of the day of surgery. Prior to our research, wait list cases could not be confirmed more than a few days prior to the desired day of surgery due to uncertainty about available time prior to the release of dedicated OR capacity. Earlier confirmation of wait list cases serves three purposes: (1) to improve patients' ability to plan logistics to prepare for their visits, (2) to reduce wait list case backlogs for surgeons' offices, and (3) to reduce variability in the total daily caseload through proactive decision making. Our contributions assist scheduling personnel in confirming wait list case dates sooner to help medical institutions achieve these benefits. We have developed two Excel-based pieces of software: a prediction tool and a schedule optimization tool. The prediction tool predicts time that is available each day between one and three weeks in advance to accommodate wait list cases, and the schedule optimization tool automates the consolidation process for all cases that are currently booked on a future date so that rooms and equipment are used as efficiently as possible. Our platform lets users interact with simple GUIs in which they make selections to generate prediction results and optimized daily case schedules. Specifically, our prediction algorithm employs a multiple linear regression model over historical data to forecast unused time, and the optimization tool uses a mixed integer linear program to optimize the daily schedule by consolidating cases into a minimum number of rooms and closing any gaps between cases, subject to constraints that are specific to the facility and the date in question. We have achieved our desired outcome of maximizing operating room resource utilization by giving human schedulers a set of tools to use on a daily basis that simplifies the scheduling process and confirms wait list cases with more advance notice. This system is generalizable to other areas within healthcare delivery environments and any other industry where tasks are scheduled in advance into a fixed set of resources with a record of historical demand over time.
