Some operating room (OR) managers face the dilemma whereby all cases in a surgical suite are not completed during a regularly scheduled (e.g., 8-hour) day. If the anesthesia group at the surgical suite plans for its employed anesthetists to work a fixed number of hours each day, then more than 1 shift of anesthetists may be needed to care for the patients in the ORs. We developed a graphical statistical method that anesthetists and anesthesiologists can use to determine how many anesthesia providers are required on the second shift to minimize labor costs. The method uses data from surgical services information systems or hospital information systems to compensate for seasonality or seasonal variation in the number of ORs running at different times of the day. We also consider application of our method to scheduling surgical nurses with multiple overlapping shifts throughout the day.
在常规排班日（如8小时工作日）内，手术科室的所有手术无法全部完成。如果手术科室的麻醉团队计划让其雇佣的麻醉师每天工作固定时长，那么可能就需要不止一班麻醉师来照料手术室里的患者。我们开发了一种图形统计方法，麻醉师和麻醉医生可以用它来确定第二班需要多少麻醉人员，以将劳动力成本降至最低。该方法利用手术服务信息系统或医院信息系统的数据，来补偿一天中不同时段手术室使用数量的季节性或季节性变化。我们还考虑将我们的方法应用于安排全天有多个重叠班次的外科护士。
