VELASQUEZ-RESTREPO, Paula Andrea; RODRIGUEZ-QUINTERO, Alma Karina e JAEN-POSADA, Juan Sebastián. Methodological approach to the planning and scheduling of operating rooms: a literature review. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.24, pp.249-266. ISSN 1657-7027.
The hospital sector in different parts of the world has been forced to move into cost reduction. The operating rooms are one of the most expensive departments of hospitals due to the problems presented by planning and scheduling the operations. This paper provides an overview of the different research focused on solving the problems of planning the operating rooms. We performed a classification of the solution techniques used and the results that were achieved. Of the eighty latest articles, 62% of the works deal with the problem of reducing the waiting time for patients to be treated, and the optimization of the multiobjective stochastic is the methodology which in 33% of the cases arises as the approach that more fully addresses all aspects involved in the planning process, reducing costs by up to 15%.
