Reducing Operating Room Costs Through Real-Time Cost Information Feedback: A Pilot Study.
PURPOSE To create a protocol for providing real-time operating room (OR) cost feedback to surgeons. We hypothesize that this protocol will reduce costs in a responsible way without sacrificing quality of care. METHODS All OR costs were obtained and recorded for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Before the beginning of this project, costs pertaining to the ...
متن کاملReal-Time Output Feedback Neurolinearization
An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations. Online training of neuroline...
متن کاملOperating Room Scheduling Considering Patient Priorities and Operating Room Preferences: A Case Study
Operating rooms have become the most important areas in hospitals because of the scarcity and cost of resources. The present study investigates operating room scheduling and rescheduling considering the priority of surgical patients in a specialized hospital. The ultimate purpose of scheduling is to minimize patient waiting time, surgeon idle time between surgeries, and penalties for deviations...
متن کاملWhat does one minute of operating room time cost?
“How much does one minute of OR time cost?” is a question often asked in the operating room (OR) suite. We hear this question during cases that seem to be taking longer than they should, or when a missing piece of equipment delays the next step of the surgery. This question also arises if there is a last-minute cancellation that leaves the OR unexpectedly idle until another case can be assigned...
متن کاملReal-Time Identification of Operating Room State from Video
Managers of operating rooms (ORs) and of units upstream (e.g., ambulatory surgery) and downstream (e.g., intensive care and post-anesthesia care) of the OR require real-time information about OR occupancy. Which ORs are in use, and when will each ongoing operation end? This information is used to make decisions about how to assign staff, when to prepare patients for the OR, when to schedule add...
