The flexibility level allowed in nursing care delivery and uncertainty in infusion durations are very important factors to be considered during the chemotherapy schedule generation task. The nursing care delivery scheme employed in an…
Accurate surgery duration estimation is necessary for optimal OR planning, which plays an important role in patient comfort and safety as well as resource optimization. It is, however, challenging to preoperatively predict surgery duration…
Background: trials to identify the minimal effective treatment duration are needed in different therapeutic areas, including bacterial infections, TB and Hepatitis--C. However, standard non-inferiority designs have several limitations,…
We focus on the problem of timing errors in navigation camera as a case study in a broader problem of the effect of a timing error in cyber-physical systems. These systems rely on the requirement that certain things happen at the same time…
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries offer many advantages but require complex motor tasks that take surgeons years to master. There is currently a lack of knowledge on how surgeons acquire these robotic surgical skills. Toward…
We estimate average responses curves for treatment time in the Emergency Department (ED). Extending treatment time is considered a promising solution for improving admission decisions. Providing empirical support for this solution, however,…
We study size-based schedulers, and focus on the impact of inaccurate job size information on response time and fairness. Our intent is to revisit previous results, which allude to performance degradation for even small errors on job size…
Robotic teleoperation over long communication distances poses challenges due to delays in commands and feedback from network latency. One simple yet effective strategy to reduce errors and increase performance under delay is to downscale…
Performance modeling is a key issue in queuing theory and operation research. It is well-known that the length of a queue that awaits service or the time spent by a job in a queue depends not only on the service rate, but also crucially on…
Most activities in hospitals require the presence of the patient. Delays in patient transport can disrupt operations, potentially resulting in idle staff, underutilized equipment, and postponed procedures, which in turn lead to lost…
Automatic recognition of surgical activities in the operating room (OR) is a key technology for creating next generation intelligent surgical devices and workflow monitoring/support systems. Such systems can potentially enhance efficiency…
The design of research grants has been hypothesized to be a useful tool for influencing researchers and their science. We test this by conducting two thought experiments in a nationally representative survey of academic researchers. First,…
Lack of training data hinders automatic recognition and prediction of surgical activities necessary for situation-aware operating rooms. We propose using knowledge transfer to compensate for data deficit and improve prediction. We used two…
Estimating the remaining surgery duration (RSD) during surgical procedures can be useful for OR planning and anesthesia dose estimation. With the recent success of deep learning-based methods in computer vision, several neural network…
Cognitive cooperative assistance in robot-assisted surgery holds the potential to increase quality of care in minimally invasive interventions. Automation of surgical tasks promises to reduce the mental exertion and fatigue of surgeons. In…
The association between preoperative cognitive status and surgical outcomes is a critical, yet scarcely explored area of research. Linking intraoperative data with postoperative outcomes is a promising and low-cost way of evaluating…
In image-guided surgical tasks, the precision and timing of hand movements depend on the effectiveness of visual cues relative to specific target areas in the surgeons peri-personal space. Two-dimensional (2D) image views of real-world…
Purpose: Previous research has shown that obtaining non-expert crowd evaluations of surgical performances concords with the gold standard of expert surgeon review, and that faster playback speed increases ratings for videos of…
Cataract surgery is a sight saving surgery that is performed over 10 million times each year around the world. With such a large demand, the ability to organize surgical wards and operating rooms efficiently is critical to delivery this…
The surgical operating room (OR) presents many opportunities for automation and optimization. Videos from various sources in the OR are becoming increasingly available. The medical community seeks to leverage this wealth of data to develop…
