Abstract
Managing workflows for surgical services in large multi-speciality hospitals is a challenging task in part due to intrinsic as well as exogenous uncertainties and disturbances. Models and historical data are used to project utilizations and resource requirements for managing operating rooms (OR) over weeks and months. Such projection methods may be adapted in management decision making on the day of surgery if real-time event data can be obtained. A paradigm was developed to combine modelling, simulation, real-time sensor data processing, and visualization to assist coordination of the activities during perioperative processes.
