Efficient operating room (OR) management is crucial for reducing healthcare costs. This study introduces a computerized scheduling and monitoring system to improve OR efficiency and proposes a measure for scheduling accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Operations
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Rising healthcare costs necessitate cost-reduction strategies in hospitals.
  • Operating rooms (ORs) are key areas for cost containment efforts.
  • Shifting inpatient populations to ambulatory care results in sicker, more procedure-intensive inpatients, increasing OR importance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the need for efficient operating room management.
  • To introduce a computerized operating room scheduling and monitoring system.
  • To propose an operational measure for assessing scheduling accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a custom computerized operating room scheduling and monitoring system by Johns Hopkins in 1983.
  • Description of the system's functionalities for daily OR management and long-term planning.

  • Proposal of an operational measure for scheduling accuracy.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed system provides detailed information for effective OR management.
    • The proposed measure offers a quantifiable way to assess scheduling accuracy.
    • The system and measure can inform planning and allocation decisions.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized systems are vital for optimizing operating room efficiency.
    • Accurate OR scheduling is essential to minimize delays and cancellations.
    • The proposed scheduling accuracy measure can enhance OR resource allocation and planning.
