This field of context has just picked up academic interest, despite its reality since 1995. The way may discover a clarification for the above aspect that managing the hospital sources is regularly performed separately without taking a bigger picture. Therefore, it is particularly valid if the sources are situated in different departments. Another subsequent clarification may be related to the notoriety of the patient flow context. Hence, patients shouldn't be planned in these issues to be queued for another source or leave the system in case of their satisfaction of solicitation for the services at a particular source. The primary contribution of the present research is assisting present and new scholars via enumeration for every progression of the study of accessible decisions in the present context. Such means could be represented by major references for scientists to discover such studies endeavors tailored to their respective requirements. This principle removes the message: scientists ought to consistently coordinate their decisions concerning the setting, the capacity, and the approaches, as not all blends are conceivable.

Surgical Operation Scheduling with Goal Programming and Constraint Programming: A Case Study

The achievement of health organizations’ goals is critically important for profitability. For this purpose, their resources, materials, and equipment should be efficiently used in the services they provide. A hospital has sensitive and expensive equipment, and the use of its equipment and resources needs to be balanced. The utilization of these resources should be considered in its operating rooms, as it shares both expense expenditure and revenue generation. This study’s primary aim is the effective and balanced use of equipment and resources in hospital operating rooms. In this context, datasets from a state hospital were used via the goal programming and constraint programming methods. According to the wishes of hospital managers, three scenarios were separately modeled in both methods. According to the obtained results, schedules were compared and analyzed according to the current situation. The hospital-planning approach was positively affected, and goals such as minimization cost, staff and patient satisfaction, prevention over time, and less use were achieved.
