Examples of Effective Practices for Scheduling in Cath Labs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Previously, lab managers scheduled procedures on a first-come, first-serve, open booking basis. However, physicians would create phony bookings in order to block out times for themselves, would cancel or rearrange appointments, and intentionally underestimate the time required for complex cases. Furthermore, there was considerable discord among physicians and much dissatisfaction among all parties involved—cath lab staff, physicians, and patients.

Background and Aim: Today, correct distribution of healthcare resources is a top priority in all societies. Countries reform their healthcare systems to improve quality and promote access to healthcare services. In this regard, controlling the amount of medical tests and procedures and reducing unnecessary procedures is an objective for healthcare systems. Cath labs are rooms that provide vario...
متن کاملImproving the efficiency of the cardiac catheterization laboratories through understanding the stochastic behavior of the scheduled procedures.
BACKGROUND In this study, we sought to analyze the stochastic behavior of Catherization Laboratories (Cath Labs) procedures in our institution. Statistical models may help to improve estimated case durations to support management in the cost-effective use of expensive surgical resources. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all the procedures performed in the Cath Labs in 2012. The duration of...

Introduction Due to the increasing use of angiography procedures and the higher risk of deterministic and stochastic effects for radiation workers of these sections than other radiological procedures, radiation safety is very important in angiography staff. So, this study aimed to obtain the effective dose of angiography staff and compare them with the standard dose limit and finally outline th...
متن کاملAn algorithm for multi-objective job shop scheduling problem
Scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. However, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. The combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. In this paper, we pro...

In this study, we aim to present a new model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) considering a working calendar for project members and determined the skill factor of any member using the efficiency concept. For this purpose, the recyclable resources are staff resources where any person with multiple skills can meet the required skills of activities in a given time. ...
