(author), van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Operating Room (OR) scheduling is crucial to allow efficient use of ORs. Currently, the predicted durations of surgical procedures are unreliable and the OR schedulers have to follow the progress of the procedures in order to update the daily planning accordingly. The OR schedulers often acquire the needed information through verbal...journal article 2016

Paalvast, M. (author)Each surgical procedure varies in length. There’s a need for dynamic planning to have an optimal patient flow from their beds to the operating room. This paper proposes an adaptive system that predicts the end of a gallbladder removal surgery 25 minutes in advance with the use of Support Vector Machines based on the activations of the...master thesis 2015

(author), van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Efficiency in the Operating Room (OR) is a topic of growing interest. Planning of care is a crucial element to ensure optimal use of the ORs. Currently, OR scheduling is considered as a complex task based on predictions of surgery duration. The latter are often based on average times, but turn out to be inaccurate in practice because of...conference paper 2015
