“…Although mathematical programming models have been widely used to solve Master Surgery Scheduling Problems (Persson & Persson, 2007;Van Oostrum et al, 2008;Beliën et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2010;Day et al, 2012;He et al, 2012;Paul & Jotshi, 2013;Sufahani & Ismail, 2014;Saadouli et al, 2015;Villarreal & Keskinocak, 2016) there is no research in which quantitative legislation criteria are considered, according to Erhard et al (2018).…”

Paper aims: To find efficient operation room scheduling for residents considering several resources constraints and ensuring a minimum number of surgeries for approval in the training program. Originality: We find no research in current literature addressing operation room resource allocation for residents training in order to meet legislation approval criteria. Research method: The number of procedures to be performed by each resident was defined by Brazilian legislation and by the rules obtained from interviews with the chief professor of a vascular hospital. To solve the allocation of doctors to surgeries planning problem, also addressed in literature as Master Surgical Schedule (MSS), we propose a mathematical programming approach. Main findings: The mathematical model showed that some of the current rules of resource availability bring about infeasible planning when trying to achieve the legislation quantitative rules for the residents training. Implications for theory and practice: The model allowed the decision maker to plan and schedule vascular surgeries in a better and faster way, through an automated system, instead of allocating residents to surgeries manually, which takes many hours per month. Furthermore, changing the input data in the proposed model can allow other hospitals or specialists to get efficient results in less time.

“…Many research works have contributed in the medical resource allocation problem, such as ambulance, bed, operating room and so on (Knight et al, 2012;Paul and Jotshi, 2013;Bai and Zhang, 2014). However, due to the key distinct characteristics of large-scale disasters, a salient point is the number of emergency medical resources on demand is much higher than supply.…”

Abstract:This article studies how to allocate a scare emergency medical resource at the beginning of large-scale disaster. One salient problem in emergency rescue is how to coordinate the resource among injuries of different degrees in different periods. The injuries are classified into three levels and given different priorities. Waiting cost with resources shortage, deteriorated cost with delay and transferring cost to other hospitals are introduced into the decision-making process. Basing on incorporating the costs into revenue function, a Markov decision process (MDP) model is proposed to establish the optimal action policies in different periods. A dynamic algorithm is proposed to derive the optimal solution. With a numerical experiment, the improvement of MDP is displayed and some managerial suggestions are also provided.Keywords: emergency management; medical resource allocation; Markov decision process; multi-priority injuries; operational research.
