Physician Scheduling in Emergency Rooms
We discuss the problem of constructing physician schedules in emergency rooms. Starting from practical instances encountered in six different hospitals of the Montreal (Canada) area, we first we propose generic forms for the constraints encountered in this context. We then review several possible solution techniques that can be applied to physician scheduling problems, namely tabu search, colum...

متن کاملVariation in Physician Practice Styles within and across Emergency Departments

To address this issue, we study patient scheduling in EDs so that mandatory targets imposed on each patient’s door-to-provider time and length of stay can be collectively met with the largest probability. Exploiting patient flow data from the ED, w...
