Abstract
Healthcare scheduling entails matching health care resources (providers, rooms, equipment, supplies, organs, devices and instruments) to patient needs, when and where they need them. Effective scheduling reduces waste, reduces patient waiting and improves health outcomes. Scheduling methods rely on operations research techniques, including forecasting, mathematical modeling and optimization, queue models and stochastic processes. These techniques are used in many ways, including setting appointments, scheduling staff, planning surgeries and managing the flow of patients through health care systems.
