TL;DR: The proposed SWALIS model allows homogeneous and standardized prioritization, enhancing transparency, efficiency and equity, and might represent a pragmatic approach towards surgical waiting lists, useful in both clinical practice and strategic resource management.

TL;DR: The optimization of OR activity planning is essential in order to manage the hospital’s waiting list and allows for the scheduling of about 30 % more patients than in actual practice, as well as to better exploit the OR efficiency, increasing the average operating room utilization rate up to 20 %.

TL;DR: The architecture and services of a Science Gateway developed in the context of the DECIDE project, which aims to support the medical community in its daily duties of patients’ examination and diagnosis, are reported on.

TL;DR: A fully integrated system which allows surgical simulation, planning, and support for computer-guided plastic surgery procedures starting from image acquisition to final intraoperative assistance and provides the user with a radiological workstation able to analyse patient medical images and case studies.

TL;DR: From results, it emerges that the parallelization of the analysis process and the execution of parallel jobs on distributed computational resources actually improve the performances.
