    Automated surgical scheduling software has been successfully used for over two years, producing consistent and reliable operating room schedules. This adaptable computer programming approach can be implemented in other hospitals by defining specific scheduling parameters.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Hospital Administration
    • Surgical Operations Management

    Background:

    • The complexity of surgical scheduling poses significant challenges in large teaching hospitals.
    • Manual scheduling is prone to errors and inefficiencies, impacting resource allocation and patient flow.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel computer programming approach for automating the surgical operating room schedule.
    • To demonstrate the successful implementation and adaptability of this automated scheduling system.

    Main Methods:

    • A specialized programming approach termed 'Expand, Sort, Order and Assign' was developed.
    • A trained clerk utilized a computer terminal to generate schedules using the devised program.

    Main Results:

    • Consistent and reliable surgical operating room schedules were produced automatically.
    • The system proved unaffected by weekends and holidays, ensuring continuous operational planning.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer technology can effectively address complex surgical scheduling problems.
    • The developed program is adaptable to other institutions with defined scheduling parameters and operating priorities.
