Abstract

Operating room (OR) is one of the most critical units in a hospital. Managing surgical processes in ORs for better utilization of medical resources, safe delivery of surgical cases, improving patient outcome, and reducing cost, is of significant importance. In this paper, a discrete-event simulation model of OR workflow in a Tertiary A hospital in Beijing, China, is developed. The model is validated by comparing with three-month data collected in the hospital. Using this model, the impacts of OR capacity, resource level, design and operation policies are investigated.
