OPERATING ROOM SCHEDULING WITH SURGEON FATIGUE: BI-OBJECTIVE SIMULATION-OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Operating room schedules struggle due to time limits, unexpected surgeon burnout, and unpredictable surgery length. When doctors and surgeons are overworked due to exhausting hours and little rest, they are significantly less efficient. The model aims to make surgery wait time shorter and surgeons less fatigued, avoiding only costs and the usage. Boil down a big hospital operation to a flowy simulation. a software algorithm tries to make hospital life run smoothly. Studies show despite less time spent on breaks approaching scheduling in a certain way can still have many benefits. the results of this research indicate that patients, who are coming to the hospital, and the staff should be considered as opposed to just the hospital schedule. This article gives health workers and officials important advice on how to train more personnel so that we can make the apps perfect.
