FORECASTING THE WORKLOAD WITH A HYBRID MODEL TO REDUCE THE INEFFICIENCY COST

Pan, Xinwei 01 January 2017 (has links)
Time series forecasting and modeling are challenging problems during the past decades, because of its plenty of properties and underlying correlated relationships. As a result, researchers proposed a lot of models to deal with the time series. However, the proposed models such as Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) only describe part of the properties of time series. In this thesis, we introduce a new hybrid model integrated filter structure to improve the prediction accuracy. Case studies with real data from University of Kentucky HealthCare are carried out to examine the superiority of our model. Also, we applied our model to operating room (OR) to reduce the inefficiency cost. The experiment results indicate that our model always outperforms compared with other models in different conditions.

Att arbeta med tillgångar och motgångar : Operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att bevara patientens kroppsliga integritet / Working with assets and setbacks : Operating room nurses' experiences of preserving the patients bodily integrity

Runesson, Sofia, Sundbrandt, Eva January 2013 (has links)
I samband med operation exponeras patientens kropp för att kunna genomföra ett ingrepp och det är operationssjuksköterskans uppgift att bevara patientens kroppsliga integritet. Det finns dock inga tydliga riktlinjer för detta och kan vara en svår utmaning för operationssjuksköterskor. Syftet med studien var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av hur de bevarar patientens kroppsliga integritet. Kvalitativ ansats med intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod valdes för att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter inom området. Urvalet bestod av nio operationssjuksköterskor fördelade på fyra sjukhus inom tre län. Datamaterialet analyserades enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resulterade i sju subkategorier under en och samma kategori. Operationssjuksköterskorna beskrev begreppet integritet som en människas personliga sfär och att varje enskild patients integritet bevaras genom individanpassad vård. Skydda patientens kroppsliga integritet kan göras genom att skyla kroppen och undvika obehöriga blickar, men samtidigt finns faktorer som försvårar bevarandet av patientens kroppsliga integritet. En kombination av professionalism och empati menar operationssjuksköterskorna leder dem till att bevara patientens kroppsliga integritet där patientrelationen är viktig men av olika skäl kan utebli. Slutsatsen av resultatet är att patientrelationen är viktig för att kunna inhämta den information operationssjuksköterskan behöver för att kunna bevara patientens kroppsliga integritet. / During a surgery the patient’s body is exposed in order to carry out the surgery and it is the operating room nurse’s main task to care for and to protect the patient’s bodily integrity. However, at this time there are no clear guidelines on how to treat this subject and it can be a difficult challenge for the nurses. The purpose of this study was to describe the operating room nurses experiences of how they best protect the patient's bodily integrity. A qualitative approach with interviews and data collection methods was chosen to describe the operating room nurses' experiences in the field. The sample consisted of nine surgical nurses, spread across four hospitals in three counties. The data was analyzed according to a qualitative content analysis and resulted into seven sub-categories under the same category. Operating room nurses described the concept of integrity as a human's personal space, and that each patient’s integrity is maintained through individualized care. Protecting the patient’s bodily integrity can be done by covering the body and preventing unauthorized eyes but there are factors that can for different reasons make this difficult. The operating room nurses think that a combination of professionalism and empathy leads them to maintain the patient's bodily integrity where patient relationship is important, but for various reasons may be compromised. The conclusions from the result is that the patient relationship is important in order to obtain the information that the operating room nurse needs to be able to protect the patient's bodily integrity.

A Retrospective Study of Operating Room Utilization and Efficiency in a Pediatric Dental Residency Program

Burke, Brian 29 April 2014 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose was to assess and understand operating room (OR) utilization and efficiency in a pediatric dental residency program. Methods: A retrospective study was performed using chart extraction from 778 patients completed by both pediatric dentistry faculty (n=7) and residents (n=17) in an ambulatory care setting over a 32 month period (between July 2010 and March 2013). Patterns in OR usage time were determined by documenting various timing metrics (start and stop times for anesthesia, start and stop times for the dental procedure, times for throat pack in and out), noting patient information (age and ASA patient classification status), and creating variables by grouping data by clinical provider type and dental procedure. OR usage time was analyzed using multiple regression to estimate the per-tooth or per-mouth time for each type of procedure. Results: The median procedure time was 75 minutes (range= 1 to 517 minutes). Multiple regression indicated that for the average patient, a faculty member took 63.8 minutes (95% CI = 60.8 to 66.7 minutes) and a resident took 81.9 minutes (95% CI = 78.7 to 85.0 minutes, P<.0001).These results demonstrate that the appropriate scheduling of operating room should be based on the proficiency level of provider as well as the complexity of the dental procedure. Conclusion: This study concludes that pediatric dental operating room planning and scheduling in teaching hospitals should take into account real constraints such as residents’ level of training and skill.

Patientkännedom i den perioperativa vården : En intervjustudie med operationssjuksköterskor / Knowledge of the patient in perioperative care : An interview study with operating room nurses

Bexell, Hanna, Ulvegard, Agnes January 2017 (has links)
Introduktion: Operationssjuksköterskan ansvarar för en god och patientsäker perioperativ omvårdnad. Preoperativ personcentrerad information är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patientens unika behov och främja kontinuitet i vården. Patientens individuella riskfaktorer är väsentligt för operationssjuksköterskan att känna till för att kunna förebygga vårdskador och genomföra en patientsäker perioperativ vård. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att inhämta information för att skapa patientkännedom i den perioperativa vården. Metod: En kvalitativ studiedesign med en induktiv ansats tillämpades. Tio operationssjuksköterskor på ett länssjukhus i Sverige intervjuades. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades i sin helhet. Innehållsanalys valdes som metod för dataanalys. Resultat: Två generiska kategorier framkom: Ta del av skriftlig information om patienten och Det preoperativa mötet med patienten. Dessa bildar tillsammans den övergripande huvudkategorin Förutsättning för personcentrerad och patientsäker perioperativ vård. Till den generiska kategorin Ta del av skriftlig information om patienten hör subkategorierna Att inhämta grundläggande kunskap och Att prioritera och ta vara på möjligheter. Till den generiska kategorin Det preoperativa mötet med patienten hör subkategorierna Att träffa och tala med patienten och Att skapa förutsättningar för samtal. Konklusion: Resultatet bidrar med fördjupade kunskaper kring vad som är väsentligt att veta om patienten i den perioperativa vården och varför det är viktig information, utifrån operationssjuksköterskans perspektiv. Både skriftlig information och ett preoperativt möte med patienten behövs för att skapa förutsättning för personcentrerad och patientsäker perioperativ vård. Resultatet tyder på att det behövs ett förändrat arbetssätt för att möjliggöra skapandet av god kännedom om varje enskild patient och på så sätt öka patientsäkerheten. / Introduction: The operating room nurse is responsible for a good and safe perioperative care. Preoperative person-centered information is a prerequisite to meet the patient´s unique needs and promote continuity of care. The patient´s individual risk factors are essential for the operating room nurse to know in order to prevent hospital acquired injuries and to accomplish safe perioperative care. Aim: The aim was to describe operating room nurses´ experiences of obtaining information to create knowledge of the patient in perioperative care. Method: A qualitative study with an inductive approach was conducted. Ten operating room nurses at a hospital in Sweden were interviewed. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Content analysis was chosen as the method of data analysis. Result: Two generic categories emerged: Read written information about the patient and The preoperative meeting with the patient. These generic categories together form the main category Prerequisite for person-centered and safe perioperative care. The generic category Read written information about the patient includes the subcategories To acquire basic knowledge and To prioritize and to seize opportunities. The generic category The preoperative meeting with the patient includes the subcategories To meet and talk with the patient and To create conditions for conversation. Conclusion: The findings contribute to a deeper knowledge of what is essential to know about the patient in perioperative care and why this is important information, from the operating room nurse´s perspective. Both written information and a preoperative meeting with the patient are required to create prerequisite for person-centered and safe perioperative care. The results indicate a need of change in the way of working to enable good knowledge of each patient, and thereby increase patient safety in perioperative care.

Ansiedade e medo no pré-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca: intervenção de enfermagem na abordagem psicossocial / Anxiety and fear in cardiac surgery pre-operative: nursing intervention in psychosocial approach

Leon, Maria Denise 25 April 2007 (has links)
O investimento dessa pesquisa foi colocar em evidência os sentimentos de ansiedade e medo, encontrados em pessoas que se submeteriam à cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio, por meio da aplicação de uma estratégia de intervenção grupal, na abordagem psicossocial. Os objetivos foram: identificar os níveis de ansiedade e medo nas pessoas que iriam se submeter à cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (RM); implementar uma estratégia de orientação grupal na visita pré-operatória, na abordagem psicossocial, para as pessoas que apresentaram medo e ansiedade no pré-operatório de cirurgia de RM; comparar os níveis de ansiedade e medo entre as pessoas que receberam as orientações tradicionais da instituição e aquelas que participaram da estratégia de orientação grupal na visita pré-operatória; apreender o significado das orientações pré-operatórias segundo a percepção das pessoas participantes dos grupos de intervenção. A pesquisa, de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa, foi realizada em um hospital especializado em cardiologia, no município de São Paulo no período de abril a agosto de 2006. Das pessoas abordadas para avaliação (109), 60 participaram efetivamente do estudo, sendo 30 no grupo de intervenção e 30 no grupo controle. Foi realizado um ensaio clínico controlado randomizado. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análise estatística e de análise de conteúdo, segundo Bardin. No grupo de intervenção foram utilizadas dinâmicas grupais para promover um ambiente relaxante e possibilitar aberturas para livre expressão das pessoas participantes. A maioria dos participantes era do sexo masculino, com Ensino Fundamental Incompleto, com nível sócio-econômico médio, com idade média de 62,02 anos. Verificou-se que as pessoas que participaram do grupo de intervenção tiveram redução nos níveis de ansiedade e o medo de forma clínica e estatisticamente significantes. As dinâmicas proporcionaram um momento lúdico e expressivo, além do significado cognitivo/afetivo e relacional, sendo alcançada. a segurança e a tranqüilidade que levaram à redução da ansiedade e do medo. Os resultados indicam que as orientações pré-operatórias realizadas de forma grupal, na abordagem psicossocial, produzem resultados efetivos e, portanto, recomenda-se que essa estratégia seja implementada nas instituições hospitalares / This research is aimed at highlighting the importance of feelings such as anxiety and fear in those who are to undergo myocardial revascularization surgery (RM), and the adoption of a psychosocial approach by which a strategy of group intervention is used. Aiming at identifying the levels of anxiety and fear in those patients, a strategy of group guidance during the pre-surgery round was adopted, using a psychosocial approach, comparing the levels of anxiety and fear in those who received traditional institutional guidance, and those who took part in the group guidance pre-surgical session, and also at comprehending the meaning of the pre-surgical guidance in the perception of the intervention group participants. This research is of a quantitative and qualitative nature, and was conducted in a specialized cardio hospital, in the city of Sao Paulo, in the period between April and August 2006. Out of the 109 people approached for assessment, 60 took an effective participation in the study, of which 30 were in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. A controlled, random clinical rehearsal was performed. The data was analyzed statistically and content wise, in accordance to Bardin. With the intervention group, group dynamics were applied so as to promote a relaxing, friendly environment, and allow for the participants’ free expression. Most of the subjects in this group were male, with incomplete lower education, average socio-economic class, and 62,02 years old on average. It was noted that this group subjects had their levels of anxiety and fear lowered, in a statistically significant manner. The dynamics provided them with more than only a playful, expressive moment; they had a cognitive/affectionate, relational significance, through which security and tranquility were achieved, and, as a result, levels of anxiety and fear were reduced. Results indicate that group pre-surgical guidance in a psychosocial approach produces effective results, and is thus recommended for undertaking in hospital

Métodos otimizantes para planejamento de recursos em bloco cirúrgico hospitalar

Etcheverry, Guilherme Vazquez January 2017 (has links)
Esta tese apresenta abordagens apoiadas em métodos de otimização para solucionar problemas relacionados ao planejamento de recursos físicos de um bloco cirúrgico (BC) hospitalar. Na tese, tais abordagens são divididas em cinco artigos que inicialmente identificam os métodos atualmente empregados na literatura em geral e pelo hospital acadêmico utilizado como referência neste estudo, para propor novos métodos de solução para problemas estratégicos, táticos e operacionais de extrema relevância no contexto da gestão eficiente dos recursos físicos de um BC. Os métodos otimizantes apresentados nesta tese se referenciam nos tempos históricos de realização das cirurgias e no tempo esperado de permanência dos pacientes nos leitos da unidade de recuperação pós-anestésica (URPA) para alocar, em nível tático, os blocos de tempo das salas de cirurgia (SC’s) às especialidades cirúrgicas e, em nível operacional, sequenciar as cirurgias para atender a demanda de cirurgias eletivas e maximizar a utilização de capacidade dos recursos físicos do BC. Em nível estratégico, os problemas abordados na tese se referem ao dimensionamento da quantidade requerida de SC’s e de leitos de recuperação da URPA, e do compartilhamento ótimo desses recursos entre as especialidades cirúrgicas, utilizando os blocos de tempo das SC’s como variáveis de decisão para atender a demanda de cirurgias eletivas das especialidades cirúrgicas do BC. / This thesis presents optimising approaches for solving resource planning problems in an operating theatre (OT). The approaches are presented in five articles which start identifying current methods used in the literature as well as in the academic hospital for proposing new optimising solution methods for relevant strategic, tactical and operational problems concerning to efficient OT’s resource utilisation. The methods presented in the thesis take as the reference the historical surgery times of the surgical specialities to calculate their expected number of surgeries per working shift and their expected patient’s length of stay in the recovery beds of the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Such metrics are essential for allocating the operating room block times, at tactical level, and for sequencing the surgeries in the operating rooms, at operational level, in order to comply with the elective surgeries demand and miximise OT’s resource utilisation. The problems at strategic planning level refer to the dimensioning of the required number of operating rooms and PACU recovery beds to comply with the surgical demand and determining the optimal allocation mix within the surgical specialities, taking the operating room block times as the decision variables of both problems.

Kommunikation fungerar för dem som jobbar på den! Kommunikationens betydelse för människan i det opererande teamet

Eriksson, Annelie, Strömberg, Lisbeth January 2008 (has links)
I ett team ingår flera professioner och för att arbeta i ett team krävs det att kunna kommunicera med varandra. Genom att belysa vad som påverkar kommunikationen och hur kommunikationen påverkar människan, kan det leda till att människan utvecklar sin förmåga att kommunicera, vilket i sin tur leder till ett förbättrat arbetsklimat. Syftet med studien är att belysa kommunikationens betydelse för människan i det opererande teamet och eventuella orsaker som påverkar kommunikationen. Metoden är en litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ innehållsanalys av vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet redovisas med hjälp av tre huvudteman och 11 subteman där kommunikationens process belyses. Operationssalens miljö med resurser, rutiner, tidsbrist och beslutstagande. Operationsteamets samspel med ovan – oerfaren, kontinuitet och respons. Rollernas innebörd på operationssal med förhållningssätt, makt – respekt, tystnad och ansvar är framträdande faktorer som har betydelse för kommunikationen och människan. I diskussionen tas tidsbrist upp som är en stor orsak till konflikter i teamet, vilket troligtvis orsakas av bristande resurser. Vidare har teamets sammansättning en stor betydelse, människors personligheter och kunskaper har en inverkan på kommunikationen i teamet. Feedback diskuteras och vidare diskuteras rollernas betydelse, såsom att sjuksköterskan tar på sig rollen som keepers of peace, för att behålla en god atmosfär på operationssalen. Genus diskuteras, men ses som en lucka i analyserade artiklar. Hierarki och maktsituationer ses som ett hinder i kommunikationen. Avslutningsvis diskuteras konflikt och dess betydelse för patientsäkerheten och en utvärdering gjord från ett projekt där personal fått teamhandledning. / <p>Program: Specialistsjuksköterskeutbildning med inriktning mot operationssjukvård</p><p>Uppsatsnivå: D</p>

Mattia, Ana Lucia De 03 February 1999 (has links)
O estudo do dimensionamento de pessoal de enfermagem em Centro Cirúrgico (CC), foi realizado segundo o movimento anual de cirurgias, com os objetivos de: calcular a capacidade anual de horas de enfermagem no C.C.; identificar as horas de assistência de enfermagem em C.C. por categoria profissional e associar a capacidade de horas de enfermagem anual e por categoria profissional com o tempo de utilização de C.C. Foi desenvolvido em um Hospital Universitário, geral, voltado para assistência secundária, no minicípio de São Paulo. O C.C. desenvolve a Sistemática da Assistência de Enfermagem Perioperatória (SAEP), para o cuidado sistematizado e individualizado ao paciente cirúrgico, com visita pré-operatória prestada ao paciente pelo enfermeiro e auxiliar de enfermagem; assistência no pós-operatório imediato na RA e transporte do paciente até a sua unidade de destino. A assistência indireta ao paciente também é realizada, como os cuidados com o ambiente, administração de recursos materiais e humanos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista com a enfermeira-chefe do C.C., levantamento dos registros do movimento cirúrgico, escalas de pessoal e fichas com dados das ausências previstas e não previstas do pessoal de enfermagem. A análise foi desenvolvida em quatro etapas: identificação da capacidade cirúrgica segundo o movimento anual das cirurgias; identificação da capacidade cirúrgica segundo o movimento anual das cirurgias; identificação da capacidade anual de horas de enfermagem no C.C.; associação das horas de assistência de enfermagem por categoria profissional e capacidade cirúrgica. Os resultados possibilitaram as seguintes identificações: a capacidade cirúrgica, é caracterizada pela capacidade estrutural de 87.600 horas, capacidade operacional de 33.627,22 horas e capacidade de utilização de 12.246,95 horas; a capacidade anual das horas de enfermagem é 35.749,03 horas; as horas de assistência de enfermagem na categoria enfermeiro 1,69 horas por paciente e na categoria de auxiliar de enfermagem com 6,95 horas por paciente. O percentual de ausências foi de 39,72%, para um movimento cirúrgico em dias úteis de 2.711 cirurgias, obteve-se uma média de 10.839,53 horas de utilização de C.C., com 18.814,45 horas de assistência de enfermagem para categoria auxiliar de enfermagem. Este estudo tem por finalidade contribuir para a composição do quadro de pessoal de enfermagem, mais próximo à realidade, evitando sobrecargas dos trabalhadores ou períodos de ociosidade / The proposal of this study is to verify the need of nursing staff in Operating Romm Department, to identify the utilization time of Operating Rooms (OR) through annual surgeries number; to calculate annual number of nursing staff in OR; to identify number of hours of nursing care in OR done by each professional categories and to associate number of hours of nursing by each professional category with OR utilization time. This research was done in University Hospital which is general and provide secondary assistence in São Paulo City. The OR used Perioperative Nursing System to systematize and individualized nursing care to surgical patient. The system components are: pre and post operative visits realized by OR registered nurse; intraoperative nursing care by Registered nurse and ancillary nurse; immediate post-operative nursing care and transport of patient to specific unit. Other activities that are realized by nursing staff are: preparatio and cleaness of OR, management of material and human resources in order to improve the nursing interview with OR head-nurse and analysing records of surgeries, nursing staff schedute and absenteism. The data was analysed in four fases: identification of surgical capacity in relation of annual number of surgeries; identification of number of nursing care hour per each professional category and association of surgical capacity with number of surgeries that would be done. The results showed these conclusions: number of surgeries was 87.000 hours in structural capacity; 33,627.22 hours in operational capacity and 12,246.22 in utilization capacity. The annual nursing capacity is 35,749.03 hours; the number of hours by Registered nurse is 1.69 hours each patient; to the ancillary nurse is 6.95 hours each patient. The absenteism rate was 39.72%. Analysing the number of surgeries realized in week days is 2,711 surgeries with 10,893.53 hours in average of OR utilization; 4,518.59 hours of Registered nurse care and 18,893.53 hours in average of ancillary nurse care. The goal of this study is to analyse the number of nursing staff in OR through comparation of surgical capacity and nursing care hours
