Multiple performance criteria should be evaluated together in the operating room schedules. Therefore, the operating room scheduling problem is a complex and difficult problem. As a result, it is very difficult to get the best solution, even high-quality solutions, at a reasonable time. For this reason, the evaluation of the criteria that are effective in the scheduling and planning process of the operating room has been discussed. In this study, the analytical network process method which is one of multi-criteria decision-making methods has been used. Because this method considers the interaction of the criteria with each other and their relationships and dependencies. There are 24 sub-criteria under the 7 main criteria related to surgeons, operating room schedules, operating room resources, equipment and consumables, operating room staff, patients and other factors. The network structure of these criteria is created with the analytical network process method. Then, the significance levels of the criteria have been calculated. From the results obtained, the criteria for surgeons among the main criteria is in the foreground. The results show that resources in operating rooms should be used effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to use resources effectively in the operating room scheduling processes.

Ameliyathane Çizelgeleme Süreçlerinin Analitik Ağ Süreci Yöntemi ile Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Ameliyathane çizelgeleme süreçleri birden çok performans kriteri birlikte değerlendirilmelidir. Bu nedenle ameliyathane çizelgeleme problemi karmaşık ve zor bir problemdir. Sonuç olarak, makul bir zamanda en iyi çözümü, hatta yüksek kaliteli çözümleri elde etmek çok zordur. Bu nedenle ameliyathanenin çizelgeleme ve planlama sürecinde etkili olan kriterlerin değerlendirilmesi ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada, çok ölçütlü karar verme yöntemlerinden biri olan analitik ağ süreci yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntem, kriterlerin birbirleriyle etkileşimini ve bunların ilişkilerini ve bağımlılıklarını dikkate almaktadır. Cerrah, ameliyathane programları, ameliyathane kaynakları, ekipman ve sarf malzemeleri, ameliyathane personeli, hastalar ve diğer faktörlerle ilgili 7 ana kriter altında 24 alt kriter bulunmaktadır. Bu kriterlerin ağ yapısı, analitik ağ süreci yöntemi ile oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra kriterlerin önem dereceleri hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlardan ana kriterler arasında cerrah kriteri ön plana çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar ameliyathanelerdeki kaynakların etkin kullanılması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu nedenle ameliyathane planlama süreçlerinde kaynakların etkin kullanılmasına özen gösterilmesi gerekmektedir.
