Reducing patient-flow delays in surgical suites through determining start-times of surgical cases
We model a surgery-scheduling system for multiple operating rooms. We determine surgery starting times under service time uncertainties. Patient waiting times, idling of OR, and completion times are used for evaluation. A fuzzy logic based flexible job shop scheduling with time-lag model is used. Appropriate ratio of operating rooms and PACU resources is examined.
