Challenge

The high demand for non-urgent surgeries, intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, caused significant backlogs. The increasing queue for surgeries exceeded the center's capacity, resulting in longer wait times for patients. This led to inefficient patient flow and suboptimal allocation of staff and equipment.

Objectives

  • Increase the surgical capacity by adding new operating rooms.

  • Reduce wait times for non-urgent procedures by optimizing patient flow.

  • Improve operational efficiency through better resource utilization.

  • Enhance patient experience by streamlining pre- and post-operative processes.
