A scheduling strategy to determine starting times of surgeries in multiple operating rooms (OR) is presented. The constraints are resource limit of a downstream facility, post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), and the service time uncertainties. Given sets of surgeries that need to be done on a day,...

The purpose of this study is to provide a guideline for designing a hospital's centralised registration process. This study examines the two-stage patient flow and how registration queue disciplines affect the performance of clinic idle time and patient waiting time. We first identify and...

The objective of this study is to generate an optimal surgery schedule of elective surgery patients with uncertain surgery operations, which includes uncertainty in surgery durations and the availability of downstream resources such as surgical intensive care unit (SICU) over multi-periods. The...
