operating room scheduling

Operating room scheduling involves organizing and allocating time slots for surgical procedures in a hospital or clinic. It ensures that surgeries are planned efficiently, considering factors like the urgency of cases, surgical team availability, and equipment readiness. Effective scheduling minimizes wait times for patients, maximizes the use of operating rooms, and helps coordinate various staff members and resources to ensure surgeries are performed safely and on time. It requires balancing multiple priorities to optimize flow, reduce delays, and improve overall patient care.
