Operating Theatre Scheduling With Limited Recovery Beds And Patient Recovery In Operating Rooms
This paper deals with the operating theatre scheduling problem where patient recovery is allowed in the operating room. Three types of resources: transporters, operating rooms and recovery beds, are considered. After being transported from the ward, each patient visits an operating room for surgery operation and is then transferred to a recovery room. If no recovery bed is available, the patient recovery starts in the operating room until a bed becomes available. The operating room needs to be cleaned after the patient’s departure before starting another operation. The patient is transported back to the ward after his recovery. The problem consists of assigning patients to transporters, operating rooms and recovery beds in order to minimize a regular criterion depending on patients’ completion times. A Lagrangian relaxation approach is proposed to determine a near optimal schedule and a tight lower bound. Numerical results show the ability of the method to produce quality schedules in reasonable amount of time.
