Abstract
Operating room (OR) resources are limited, and for this reason there is usually a competition among surgeons to win them. However, the methods developed for allocating OR sessions are mostly based on optimisation methods which compensate the preferences of surgeons or surgical specialities in favour of the productivity of the entire OR department. This leads to conflict and dissatisfaction among surgeons. To overcome this problem, a methodology based on game theoretic solutions is presented in this paper that formulates the allocation problem as a simple game. The surgeons or specialities as players then jointly pursue the goal of achieving overall stability. Stability is defined and measured using a method called Power Index. The proposed method is then combined with the Monte-Carlo technique to deal with uncertainties. To demonstrate the capability of the suggested procedures, they are applied to a case study from the literature and a set of hypothetical scenarios.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
