Integration of operating room planning and scheduling through managing uncertainty for emergency patients in orthopedic surgery

Today, Health care management is becoming increasingly important for patients in hospitals. Hospital managers want to increase patient satisfaction and hospital’s efficiency, particularly in Operating Rooms (OR). Therefore, the development of adequate planning and scheduling procedures are the neces...
