OR BLOCK SCHEDULING
Predict and optimize OR block schedules to more evenly distribute bed availability throughout the week
A practical solution that uses data-driven simulation to find the optimal schedule to plan surgeries. Using historical data, the algorithm provides multiple scheduling options broken down by surgeon, room, service, and department.
Why take the chance when you can use H2O’s OR Block Scheduling solution to….
Evaluate and optimize average operation time
Prioritize room utilization to serve more patients
Manage surgeries scheduled on the busiest days
How H2O’s OR Block Scheduling solution freed up 12 beds during peak demand, saving up to $20K per night
Accurate planning for surgeries, especially during peak demand, can become very complicated given the different work schedules of each surgeon and the varying patient recovery time post-surgery. H2O’s OR Block Scheduling solution uses data-driven formulation to find the optimal schedule. Following product application with a 700+ bed hospital, H2O’s algorithm freed up 12 beds during peak census, saving up to $20K per night, by only changing 10 out of 200 surgeons’ schedules.
The article goes on to explain how H2O’s OR Block Scheduling solution works, including information on the user interface, and customization opportunities.
