[47] conducted a case study alongside the Odette Cancer Centre in Toronto. [PERSON] et al. [32] gathered simulation data from a university health centre in Montreal. [PERSON] et al. [20] worked with the Royal Victoria Hospital of Montreal, which not only supplied data but assisted in creating rules and constraints. [PERSON], [PERSON], and [PERSON] [23] got their data from The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. [PERSON] et al. [17] worked in collaboration with five hospitals: Jewish General Hospital (JGH), Charles-Lemoyne Hospital (CLH), Santa-Cabrini Hospital (SCH), Sacre-Cceur Hospital (SaCH), and Cote-des-Neiges Hospital (CNH). [PERSON] et al. [14], and [PERSON] et al. [31] both worked more in depth with Sacre-Cceur Hospital in Montreal. [PERSON] et al. [51] acquired historical data from the Segal Cancer Centre. [PERSON] et al. [1] interviewed six hospitals in the greater Montreal area, and then performed case studies on two hospitals: the Charles-Lemoyne Hospital and the Jewish General Hospital. [PERSON], [PERSON], and [PERSON] [16] also performed two case studies at the Santa Cabrini Hospital emergency room, Montreal and Cote-des-Neiges Geriatric Hospital. [PERSON] et al. [24] worked alongside the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) ED. [PERSON], [PERSON], and [PERSON] [39] had their work prompted by the Bariatric Surgery Program at Toronto Western Hospital. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [25] got their data from Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, Ontario. [PERSON] et al. [37], [PERSON] et al. [38], [PERSON] et al. [42], and [PERSON] et al. [2] worked alongside the University Health Network (UHN), which consists of Toronto General Hospital (TGH), Toronto Western Hospital (TWH), and Princess Margaret Cancer Center (PMCC). [PERSON] et al. [26] also worked with this cluster of hospitals but only used data from TGH. [PERSON] et al. [33] got their data from the Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) in Victoria, BC. [PERSON], [PERSON], and [PERSON] [34] worked with The Fraser Health Authority (FHA). [PERSON] et al. [29] worked with Vancouver Coastal Health. [PERSON] et al. [35] and [PERSON] et al. [36] do not name any specific hospitals but merely claim a major Canadian hospital. [PERSON], [PERSON] and [PERSON] [27] worked with Notre-Dame and Sainte-Justine to gather rulesets for their models. [PERSON] et al. [49] worked alongside nephrologists at the Ottawa Hospital. [PERSON] et al. [48] had a regional cancer centre in British Columbia collaborate to make a decision support system. [PERSON] et al. collaborated with Centre Hospitaler Universitaire de Montreal. Finally, [PERSON] et al. [45] worked alongside the hematology-oncology clinic in the Regional Hospital at Trois-Rivieres. From this data, some trends can be noticed. There is a clear priority of cities such as Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. A very large majority of data comes from these three places. Additionally, there is a large bias towards heavily developed and urban areas, with few papers looking at smaller, more rural, hospitals. Papers working alongside OntarioHospitals tended to prefer nurse scheduling and physician scheduling while operating rooms scheduling typically worked with Montreal and other Quebec based cities.
