| Abstract | Surgical cases constitute one of the most important activities in a hospital both from social and economics point of view. The most expensive facility involved in the surgical process is the Operating Room (OR), as it consumes between 10–15% of the budget in a hospital. Therefore, adequate decision-making for planning and scheduling ORs is of vital importance. This process can be decomposed in three phases: session panning problem (SPP), master surgical schedule (MSS) and elective case scheduling (ECS). In this paper, we focus on ECS, which serves to assign dates for surgery to all patients in the surgical unit's waiting list. In our model, patients must be operated before an exogenous deadline, while taking into account the different availability of surgeons. For this problem, we have developed a mixed integer programming model. We analyse two different policies corresponding to different surgical service models. In the P-S-OR policy, patients are first assigned to a surgeon and subsequently the set “patient-surgeon” is allocated to an OR shift. In the P-OR-S policy, patients are first assigned to an OR shift, and later a surgeon is assigned to each OR shift in the planning horizon. These two policies are tested using real surgical data from a surgical unit in a Spanish hospital. The results yielded by the P-OR-S policy suggest the latter to be more flexible than P-S-OR, as the patient doesn't have assigned a surgeon and therefore he/she does not depend on the surgeon's availability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
