[ 1 ] - Improvement of operating room performance using a multi-objective mathematical model and data envelopment analysis: A case study

Surgical theater is one of the most expensive hospital sources that a high percentage of hospital admissions are related to it. Therefore, efficient planning and scheduling of the operating rooms (ORs) is necessary to improve the efficiency of any healthcare system. Therefore, in this paper, the weekly OR planning and scheduling problem is addressed to minimize the waiting time of elective pati...

[ 2 ] - A multi-objective mathematical model for nurse scheduling problem with hybrid DEA and augmented ε-constraint method: A case study

The efficient management of nursing personnel is of vital importance in a hospital’s environment comprising a vast share of the hospital’s operational costs. In the nurse scheduling problem (NSP), the target is to allocate shifts to the nurses in order to satisfy the hospital’s demand during the planning horizon by considering different objective functions. This paper presents a multi-objective...

[ 3 ] - An Intelligent Algorithm for Optimization of Resource Allocation Problem by Considering Human Error in an Emergency Department

Human error is a significant and ever-growing problem in the healthcare sector. In this study, resource allocation problem is considered along with human errors to optimize utilization of resources in an emergency department. The algorithm is composed of simulation, artificial neural network (ANN), design of experiment (DOE) and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). It is a multi-response opt...
