Abstract

In order to improve the quality of patient care, efficient surgical management is significant for overall hospital management. This study proposes a robust optimization model that minimizes delay in surgery by taking the surgical sequence into account. We verified an influence of the risk-averse tendency on the schedule. In the numerical analysis, the schedule created by the robust optimization model was compared with that of the stochastic programming model. The results suggest that robust optimization models tend to avoid long delays.
