MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING FOR THE SCHEDULING OF ELECTIVE PATIENTS IN THE OPERATING ROOM DEPARTMENT
The Health Sciences Centre (HSC) in Winnipeg handles a large portion of the surgical patients in the province of Manitoba, along with Northwestern Ontario, and Nunavut. After an extensive analysis of the surgical patient flow at the facility, it became evident that the Operating Room (OR) scheduling...
