Hospital operating room (OR) scheduling involves complex criteria. This study identifies key criteria and evaluates current scheduling systems to aid administrators in selecting optimal solutions for organizational goals.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Operations Research
  • Hospital Administration

Background:

  • Hospital operating room (OR) scheduling is a complex process with multiple, often competing, criteria.
  • Existing scheduling approaches may not adequately address all critical factors, potentially hindering optimal resource utilization and patient flow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the critical criteria influencing hospital OR scheduling.
  • To assess the extent to which current OR scheduling systems support these identified criteria.
  • To provide a framework for selecting OR scheduling systems based on a contingency approach.

Main Methods:

  • A review of existing literature on hospital OR scheduling criteria.
  • Analysis of current OR scheduling system functionalities against identified criteria.

  • Development of a contingency approach model for OR system selection.

    • Main Results:

    • Key criteria for OR scheduling were identified, including efficiency, cost, staff availability, and patient outcomes.
    • Significant variations were found in the degree to which current scheduling systems support these criteria.
    • The contingency approach highlights the need for tailored system selection based on specific hospital objectives.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective hospital OR scheduling requires a multi-faceted approach that considers numerous criteria.
    • A contingency approach to selecting OR scheduling systems is crucial for aligning technology with organizational goals.
    • Hospital administrators can leverage this approach to make informed policy decisions for improved OR management.
