Reducing Operating Room Turnover Times
<p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The operating room (OR) in an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is what generates income for an organization, but it can also be costly if it’s improperly managed. The purpose of this project is to decrease OR turnover time (TOT) in order to increase OR …

Operating room utilization and turnover behavioral study
<p>Operating Rooms (OR) are the most expensive care units in health care systems. In order for OR theatre to operate in cost efficient way, it is desirable that the ORs exhibit high utilization, while at the same time, maintain a low-level over-utilized OR time. At the operational level, there are …

Machine learning at the operating room of the future : a comparison of machine learning techniques applied to operating room scheduling
The quality of an operating room schedule is determined by the accuracy of the surgery duration estimation used. State of the art estimation algorithms consider only three surgery variables-procedure type, surgeon identity, and date of surgery-to predict the length of surgeries. We show that if we …

Simulation Optimization Of Operating Room Schedules For Elective Orthopaedic Surgeries
… of scheduling elective surgeries in a multiple operating room setting with the goal of minimizing the amount of overtime incurred. While surgical durations cannot always be perfectly estimated and vary by procedure and surgeon, we propose an approach that relies on leveraging the stochastic …

Operating Room Awareness with the Smart Trocar: Innovative Laparoscopic Surgery
… in the body. However, limited access to the operating field, indirect 2D vision of a 3D complex scene, the presence of mirror effect, and operating rooms originally built for open surgery, conspire to make the surgeon's work more difficult and less efficient. We present a new technology, the …

Operating Room Awarness and Supervision in the Context of Laparoscopy
… Indirect vision and the limited access to the operating field are the most important of them. With our smart trocar we intend to make the surgeon's work easier by giving him new information that compensates the lack of haptic feedback and the poor depth perception inherent to the laparoscopy. …
