Relief-based Anesthesiologist Scheduling with Stochastic Surgery Durations

We present a two-stage stochastic programming model for scheduling anesthesiologists to operating rooms under uncertainty in surgery durations. The proposed model takes a relief order to balance anesthesiologists’ workload as input and captures the trade-offs between anesthesiologist relief times, handoffs and under-staffing. To address the computational challenges of solving the proposed model, we derive supervalid … Read more
