Operating Room Capacity Planning Decisions
Operating rooms are important assets for hospitals as they generate the largest revenue and, at the same time, produce the largest cost for hospitals. The model presented in this paper helps make capacity planning decisions on the combination of open operating rooms (ORs) and estimated overtime to satisfy the allocated OR time to each specialty. The model combines both decisions on determining ...
متن کاملA mixed integer programming approach for allocating operating room capacity
We have developed a methodology for allocating operating room capacity to specialties. Our methodology consists of a finite-horizon mixed integer programming (MIP) model which determines a weekly operating room (OR) allocation template that minimizes inpatients' cost measured as their length of stay. A number of patient type priority (e.g., emergency over inpatient) and clinical constraints (e....
متن کاملA stochastic model for operating room planning under uncertainty and equipment capacity constraints
In the present economic context, the operating theater is considered as a critical activity in health care management. This paper describes a model for operating room (OR) planning under constraint of a unique equipment. At first level we schedule elective surgeries under the uncertainty of using a unique equipment. At the second level we consider emergency surgeries, and at the third le...

متن کاملMaximizing operating room and recovery room capacity in an era of constrained resources.
HYPOTHESIS Three parallel processing operating rooms (ORs) (concurrent induction and turnover) with a dedicated 3-bed mini-recovery room (mini-postanesthesia care unit [PACU]) will optimize patient throughput and main PACU workload when compared with 4 traditional ORs or 4 parallel processing ORs. DESIGN Statistical and mathematical models projected the impact of parallel processing on case t...
