Key result
Overbooking surgeon blocks using a novel Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming web tool improved operating room utilization by an additional 2-3.5% at two hospital campuses.
Why the study?
To improve operating room access while ensuring fairness using a novel method for overbooking surgeon blocks.
A novel overbooking method using Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming implemented as a web tool improved operating room utilization by 2-3.5% at two hospital campuses.
A novel method for overbooking surgeon blocks was developed and successfully used in practice for years to improve operating room (OR) access while ensuring fairness through Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming. Implemented as a web tool, this approach optimizes OR utilization, contributing an additional 2–3.5% at two hospital campuses.
