This study presents a methodology for optimizing operating room scheduling by analyzing historical data to predict future demand. Patient safety and choice are prioritized over maximizing efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Operations Research
  • Surgical Services Management

Background:

  • Significant advancements in methodologies for maximizing operating room (OR) efficiency have emerged over the last decade.
  • Effective allocation and scheduling of ORs are critical for healthcare facility performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel methodology for optimizing surgical facility operations.
  • To establish a data-driven approach for predicting and planning future surgical demand.
  • To integrate principles for daily organization and operative management.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of historical surgical activity data within a healthcare facility.
  • Development of predictive models for future surgical demand.
  • Formulation of operational principles and rules for daily management.

Main Results:

  • A structured methodology for OR allocation and scheduling has been developed.
  • The methodology enables rational and structured decision-making in surgical facility management.
  • Prioritization of patient safety and patient choice over pure economic efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The described methodology offers a scientific basis for rational decision-making in surgical facility management.
  • Balancing operational efficiency with patient-centered care is achievable.
  • Data analysis is key to effective prediction and planning of surgical resources.
