“…They take into consideration the availabilities of surgical nurses. Roland et al (2010) apply the resource constrained project scheduling model to formulate the allocation and sequencing of elective surgeries. Several constraints regarding human resources' availabilities and preferences are included in their model.…”

Facing an acute shortage of surgical nurses, operating room suites in China are more and more aware of the need to use surgical nurses efficiently. This goal is hard to achieve due to the strong interactions between the nurse and the surgery scheduling process. This paper addresses the benefit of integrating elective surgery and surgical nurse scheduling in terms of nurse utilization. First, an integer programming (IP) model is proposed to schedule elective surgeries and surgical nurses simultaneously. Then an efficient genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed based on the IP formulation due to the computational complexity of the integrated scheduling problem. A case study using real-life data is presented to validate the performance of the integrated approaches (the IP model and the GA) by comparing them with a two-stage approach that schedules elective surgeries and surgical nurses sequentially.

“…Las soluciones permiten determinar si las metas fijadas al comienzo del periodo pueden ser cumplidas o no con los recursos disponibles. -El estudio [14] tiene por objetivo establecer un marco teórico que permita al personal médico establecer la programación, según sus preferencias. Además generar una programación de las cirugías considerando las restricciones presentes en el centro médico.…”

Una formulación matemática y de solución para programar cirugías con restricciones de recursos humanos en el hospital públicoA mathematical formulation and solution to schedule surgeries with human resource constraints in a public hospital RESUMENActualmente, los hospitales públicos nacionales e internacionales presentan demandas que sobrepasan la capacidad de atención, lo que ha provocado un creciente interés por usar herramientas de gestión en los centros clínicos que les permita realizar de forma eficiente y eficaz la entrega de servicios a los distintos pacientes. El presente estudio aporta una nueva forma de abordar el problema de programación de cirugías, desde la programación matemática, presentando un modelo de optimización multiobjetivo y un algoritmo metaheurístico implementado computacionalmente, que permite la programación semanal de intervenciones quirúrgicas, cumpliendo con los requerimientos de pabellones y personal especializado necesario para su realización. Se utiliza una instancia de prueba, donde el tiempo de ejecución del algoritmo, implementado en C++, fue de siete minutos para 191 cirugías en lista de espera. El tiempo alcanzado es considerablemente menor a la programación realizada con un sistema manual, como los actualmente usados en hospitales públicos.

“…Surgical case scheduling is an offline operational planning decision, since it results in an assignment of individual patients to planned resources and not in blueprints for assigning surgical cases to particular slots. The objectives of surgical case scheduling are numerous: to achieve a high utilization of surgical and postsurgical resources, to achieve high staff and patient satisfaction, and to achieve low patient deferrals, patient cancellations, patient waiting time, and staff overtime [84,130,176,274,338,398,422,444,511]. The execution of a surgical case schedule is affected by various uncertainties in the preoperative stage duration, surgical procedure duration, switching time, postsurgical recovery duration, emergency patient interruption, staff availability, and the starting time of a surgeon [224,398].…”

“…Although surgical case scheduling can be done integrally in one step [13,142,143,177,336,398,422,455], it is often decomposed in several steps. In the latter case, first, the planned length of a surgical case is decided.…”
