Reactive Operating Schedule in Case of a Disaster

In case of a disaster, hospitals must be able to receive, in a short period, injured persons for medical and surgical treatment, using available resources and facilities. In such situations different disruptions widely perturb the execution of the established plans. Then medical resources optimization is fundamental to save human lives. Our works focus on operating rooms scheduling taking into account disruptions. In this setting, we propose a reactive operating schedule. We consider two possible disruptions: the insertion of a new victim in the operating schedule and, the overflow of surgical processing time. The purpose is to treat all disruptions and so to save the maximum of human lives. The proposed approach is performed by the Cplex solver. Computational experiments show that a substantial aid is obtained by using this approach which can be considered as a support decision for emergency manager.
