Clinic scheduling models with overbooking for patients with heterogeneous no-show probabilities
TL;DR: This paper identifies properties of an optimal schedule with heterogeneous patients and proposes a local search algorithm to find local optimal schedules and performs a set of numerical experiments to provide managerial insights for health care practitioners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using no-show modeling to improve clinic performance.

TL;DR: A logistic regression model using electronic medical records to estimate patients’ no-show probabilities is developed and illustrated the use of the estimates in creating clinic schedules that maximize clinic capacity utilization while maintaining small patient waiting times and clinic overtime costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemotherapy Operations Planning and Scheduling
TL;DR: The aim is to develop operations planning and scheduling methods for chemotherapy patients with the objective of minimizing the deviation from optimal treatment plans due to limited availability of clinic resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular manufacturing system design using a holonistic approach
M. Selim Akturk,Ayten Turkcan +1 more
TL;DR: This is the first study that considers the efficiency of both individual cells and the overall system in monetary terms, and proposes an integrated algorithm that will solve the part-family and machinecell formation problem by simultaneously considering the within-cell layout problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of chemotherapy patient flow and scheduling in an outpatient oncology clinic
TL;DR: The results show that patient waiting times and clinic total working times can be reduced, and a more balanced resource utilisation can be achieved using better scheduling methods.
