TLDR
This paper reviews the general problem of surgical scheduling and organizes the literature based on the time frame or planning horizon of the schedule into six categories: capacity planning, process reengineering/redesign, the surgical services portfolio, procedure duration estimation, schedule construction, and schedule execution, monitoring, and control.Abstract:
This paper reviews the general problem of surgical scheduling. We organize the literature based on the time frame or planning horizon of the schedule into six categories: capacity planning, process reengineering/redesign, the surgical services portfolio, procedure duration estimation, schedule construction, and schedule execution, monitoring, and control. We survey past work and suggest topics for potential future research in each of those areas.read more

Bi-Criteria Scheduling of Surgical Services for an Outpatient Procedure Center
TL;DR: A discrete event simulation model is used to evaluate how 12 different sequencing and patient appointment time-setting heuristics perform with respect to the competing criteria of expected patient waiting time and expected surgical suite overtime for a single day compared with current practice.

Design and Analysis of Hospital Admission Control for Operational Effectiveness
TL;DR: This work describes an optimal admission threshold policy using controls on the scheduled and expedited gateways for a new Markov decision process model and presents a practical policy based on insight from the analytical model that yields reduced emergency blockages, cancelations, and off-unit census via simulation based on historical hospital data.
