Nurse planning decisions play a critical role on hospital budgeting, quality of nursing services and nurse dissatisfaction. Nurse planning in a hospital includes four main phases which are nurse budgeting, nurse scheduling (rostering), nurse staffing (rescheduling) and nurse assignment. We consider the scheduling and rescheduling problems together under demand uncertainty. We formulate this problem as a two-stage stochastic integer program and consider different solution methods including solving the extensive form, L-shaped method and L-shaped based branch-and-cut method. To improve the efficiency of the decomposition methods, a lower bound is added and closed form of dual solutions of optimality sub problems are used while adding optimality cuts. Time series analysis is used to forecast the demand and nine months of historical data of Intensive Care Unit of a private healthcare provider is used for this purpose.

Multi-period appointment planning and scheduling in healthcare.
Bilgiç, Utku Tarık; Batun, Sakine; Department of Industrial Engineering (2019)
Appointment planning and scheduling (APS) plays a crucial role in patient service quality as well as utilization of valuable resources in healthcare. In this study, we considered the integrated problem of appointment planning and scheduling in an outpatient procedure center (OPC) over a planning horizon of multiple periods. We formulated the problem as a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear program (SMILP) with uncertainty in surgery durations. The first-stage problem consists of period assignment of s...
Behavioural intension analysis of avicenna® hospital information system
Enkal, Atife Z.; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2010-07-16)
"Hospital Information Systems" are designed for improving the health quality of people and for the management of all the hospital's medical and administrative information in order to enable health professionals to perform their jobs effectively and efficiency. However the main problem has been raising that is whether hospital personnel want to use these systems while performing their tasks. This study tests an extended model by adding some factors to the original model that is based on the literature: techn...
A Secure Semantic Interoperability Infrastructure for Inter-Enterprise Sharing of Electronic Healthcare Records
Boniface, Mike; Watkins, E. Rowland; Saleh, Ahmed; Doğaç, Asuman; Eichelberg, Marco (2006-06-09)
Healthcare professionals need access to accurate and complete healthcare records for effective assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients. The non-interoperability of healthcare information systems means that inter-enterprise access to a patient's history over many distributed encounters is difficult to achieve. The ARTEMIS project has developed a secure semantic web service infrastructure for the interoperability of healthcare information systems. Healthcare professionals share services and medical in...
A hierarchical decision support system for workforce planning in medical equipment maintenance services
Cihangir, Çiğdem; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Tan, Tarkan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, we propose a hierarchical level decision support system for workforce planning in medical equipment maintenance services. In strategic level, customer clusters and the total number of field engineers is determined via a mixed integer programming and simulation. In MIP, we aim to find the minimum number of field engineers. Afterwards, we analyze service measures such as response time via simulation. In tactical level, quarterly training program for the field engineers is determined via mixed ...
Operating room pooling and parallel surgery processing under uncertainty
Batun, Sakine; Huschka, Todd R.; Schaefer, Andrew J. (2011-03-01)
Operating room (OR) scheduling is an important operational problem for most hospitals. In this study, we present a novel two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model to minimize total expected operating cost given that scheduling decisions are made before the resolution of uncertainty in surgery durations. We use this model to quantify the benefit of pooling ORs as a shared resource and to illustrate the impact of parallel surgery processing on surgery schedules. Decisions in our model include the n...
